Lorraine Kelly says she will undergo surgery to remove ovaries

Lorraine Kelly has revealed she is undergoing surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes.

The 65-year-old TV presenter posted a video of her in a hospital bed on Instagram, and said "I've not been feeling all that well for a little while".

Kelly added she "had a little scan and I have to have my ovaries and my tubes taken out" with keyhole surgery.

She said that the procedure is "purely preventative," and that "I'm going to be totally fine, see you soon".

According to the NHS, keyhole surgery - also called laparoscopic surgery - is carried out using several small incisions.

The procedure can take between one and two hours, and doctors recommend staying off work for two to four weeks after the surgery.

In the caption, the ITV presenter wrote she felt "very lucky to be treated so well" and thanked gynaecologist Dr Ahmed Raafat and hospital staff.

Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid said she was "sending you all the love in the world", while TV presenter Julia Bradbury added: "Wishing you a speedy recovery Lorraine, and good luck with the post op rehab."
