Fearne Cotton has said she will be “out of action” as she undergoes surgery after discovering two tumours on her jawline
Taking to the TV and radio presenter wrote: “Hey gang I’m going to be out of action for a bit due to a surgery. I felt a lump under my ear on my jawline a while ago now but this year noticed it was growing.
“Turns out it’s a benign tumour and another small one above it on the saliva gland. I’m feeling positive about it all and will take the opportunity to rest and slow right down.
If you feel a lump or bump or feel like something is a bit off, always go get it checked. I’m so glad I did as the longer you leave these things the more complicated things become.
It’s obviously so weird that only a couple of months ago Davina told me about her tumour and then weeks later I was calling her having discovered mine. I’m not only lucky she’s a bloody good mate but also a beacon of light and positivity when it comes to this stuff. Sending you all loads of love and I’ll see you soon.”
She accompanied the post with a video in which she showed her 3.9 million followers exactly where the tumours are sitting. In it she said she was “very grateful” the tumours are benign but explained they “have to come out because they are on a nerve.”
“I am just jumping on here to leave a quick message to say I’m not going to be on here probably quite as much the next couple of weeks because I’ve got to have an operation.
“I’ve got a benign tumour just in my jaw here below my ear. Another little tiny one here above it. I’m very grateful they’re benign but they do need to come out because they’re on a nerve.
“So I’m going to have that surgery then resting to get better before Christmas. I’m not very good at resting so wondering how that’s going to go but I’m feeling ok about it. I’m feeling good and well,” she reassured fans.
“I’m going to catch up on lots of TV while I’m out the other side of it. The podcast will carry on as normal. I’ll be doing all the regular stuff, I’ve banked a lot of good episodes that will still be rolling out and I’ll see you soon,” she signed off.
