BBC News star Laura Foster has issued a health update after being taken for surgery. The news correspondent says she was under “strict instructions” ahead of the operation to avoid wearing make-up or lotions on her skin – but a breaking news story at the last minute meant she had to get camera-ready.
Taking to Instagram, Laura shared a snap of her on the programme as she discussed the breaking news of a right-wing terrorist plot in Suffolk, where 10,000 Muslims were meeting. Laura went on air at the scene without make-up on, and later shared an update from her hospital bed.
Laura told her fans: “Was under strict instructions not to wear make-up or any lotions because I was having surgery the next day.
“Naturally, that’s when a major breaking news story happened and I ended up live on network news.
“Resting at home now… trying not to watch the news too much as it’s not exactly restful is it?”
Laura showed a picture of one of her ankles wrapped in a sturdy bandage, and her other foot in compression stockings resting atop the covers in her hospital bed.

Her fans and friends rushed to comment on the post to wish Laura well, with one writing: “You look amazing Laura! Hope the surgery went well.”
Somebody else echoed: “Wishing you a speedy recovery to full health Laura!”
“You always look amazing Laura, with or without make-up! Wishing you a speedy recovery,” another fan posted.
