Speaking from her hospital bed before her operation, Lorraine said: “I just wanted to let you know I’m having a wee procedure today. I’ve not been feeling all that well for a little while, so I had some scans and tests, and I have to have my ovaries and my tubes taken out.
“It’s purely preventative and it’s going to be with keyhole surgery, which is incredible. I’m being very well looked after and I’ll see you soon, and I’m gonna be totally fine”.

Lorraine recently admitted being a grandmother to eight-month-old Billie has made her realise how important her family are to her after missing out on a lot of 30-year-old daughter Rosie’s childhood because of her working commitment.
Lorraine – who is married to Steve Smith – told Bella magazine: “I was, obviously, working when Rosie was little, and I missed out on quite a lot of things. I still had my time with her, but I wouldn’t see her at breakfast time because I was at work. So when I do see her – that’s it. I’m afraid everything else has to take a back seat, she’s my priority.”
