This Morning presenter Holly Jay-Smith worried fans after she shared a concerning health update from her hospital bed.
Taking to Instagram, the Coupon Queen shared a snap of herself as she snuggled up in hospital. On New Year’s Eve, she told her 107,000 followers how she found out she had two bone tumours in her left leg.
The ITV star suffered for a long time before she was finally able to have surgery to remove the infected area at the end of last year. Now, the blonde bombshell is remaining positive and looking ahead to what 2024 will bring.

She captioned the post: “I wanted to post this now as I’m ready to put 2023 behind me. A few months ago, I found out I had two bone tumours in my left leg which had caused major destruction in my lower tibia.
“It was months of bed rest, tests and pain before I could have surgery. (I wasn’t in a good place so I decided to come off social media).
“Less that 2 weeks ago I had surgery at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham (where surgeons reconstructed my tibia with metal work and donor bone). I’m not going to lie, the pain is bad and walking might be an issue for a while but I want to get back to what I love (saving money!).
“So here’s to 2024 and lots of trips to Birmingham (but on the bright side I head they have a good Primark!)” she concluded. It didn’t take long before her loyal legion of fans showered her with well wishes immediately after posting.
