Kym Marsh has said she is recovering but “a bit sore” after having surgery on two hernias over the weekend.
The former Coronation Street star, 44, appeared on BBC Morning Live from her bed via video call to offer her co-host on the show, Gethin Jones, an update.
Marsh, who underwent keyhole surgery after months of discomfort, said she had stayed in hospital overnight after “complications”.
She said: “What I had originally was diagnosed as inguinal hernia which they said can be caused by sport and obviously I train quite a lot.
“And then when they went in and had a look they found what they call a femoral hernia, which is slightly less common.
