Lorraine Kelly was left horrified as a 7/7 b0mbing survivor revealed that she is still suffering from a newly-discovered brain injury 20 years on from the ɑttack. Next week marks two decades since four suicide b0mbers ɑttacked London’s transport network, which claimed the lives of 52 people and injured over 800.

Thelma Stober appeared on the ITV show ahead of a new documentary on the 7/7 b0mbings. She lost her leg and part of her hearing as a result of the ɑttack.

Thelma Stober revealed that a piece of shrapnel is lodged in her brain from the ɑttack

While Thelma’s leg was amputated at the time, she revealed that doctors only discovered in 2019 that a piece of shrapnel from the b0mb had become lodged in her brain.

“I have had surgeries subsequently – I had further amputation in 2013 because the tibia was going and made it impossible to wear my limb,” she said.

“I have had subsequent internal injuries that originally flared up and in 2019 after years of having migraine, it was discovered that I actually had shrapnel on my brain. My brain is likely submerged, it’s a very slow leak. I have to have a high-definition scan every year to have it monitored.”

Thelma added that she’s “fortunate to be alive today” after she boarded the London underground to head to work. “I was going to the office but I never got there,” she said.

Thelma added that she was stood next to the b0mber on the underground, having been told by police after the ɑttack, but wasn’t aware as she was busy working on the train.

“I had no idea, I was aware of people around me but not aware at all. We got to Liverpool Street and I tried to send a text to my PA to say I’m coming into the office and then of course, there was a flash, I was lifted up in the air. I heard screams from a distance,” she said.

“When I eventually woke up, I found myself on the train tracks.”
