BBC News presenter Laura Foster has revealed she was targeted by a “pervert” while recovering from major surgery. Earlier this week, the news correspondent took to Instagram to share a health update after going under the knife. The star has since been discharged from the hospital and is recovering well at home, with her furry friend by her side.
Sharing a snap of her swollen foot one week after undergoing surgery, she shared a health update online. The health, science and environment correspondent penned: “One week post-surgery. Not much to say [cry-laughing emoji].

“But seriously, big thanks to everyone who has been in touch nd wished me well. Except for the one pervert who felt it was appropriate to send graphic messages. I wish you many reply-all emails.”
It comes after she reported live from Suffolk without a scratch of makeup on due to “strict instructions” ahead of the big op. The broadcaster reported live from the scene of a breaking news story, where 10,000 Muslims were meeting about a right-wing terrorist plot.
She later told fans: “Was under strict instructions not to wear makeup 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?” She shared a carousel of snaps, including her makeup-free look and a shot of one ankle wrapped in a sturdy bandage, while her other foot wore compression stockings.
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.
