Kim Woodburn has revealed she’s in fine spirits after undergoing surgery on her throat earlier in the week.
The iconic television star, 80, announced to fans on Friday (April 19) that she was being treated in hospital but didn’t disclose why she had been admitted.
Now, the former Celebrity Big Brother star has revealed that she was being treated for a “bad disk” in her neck.
Speaking on GB News, Kim said: “I had a very bad disc in the back of my neck and it was affecting my hands, so I haven’t been able to use them.
“So, I went to the hospital on Wednesday, and the doctor cut my throat with a big gash in my neck, he took out the disc in this hole in my neck and put a titanium disc in.”

“Mind you, it’s not stopped me talking!”
The queen of clean has since taken to her Instagram account, sharing a video with her followers as she “refuses to die”.
