Fearne Cotton has shared an Instagram update about her health, four months following surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline.
Podcaster Fearne, 43, told her social media followers she healing well after the op – and “there is not a scrap of tumour left”.
She’d revealed the growths had been discovered near her ear in December of last year, just weeks before her split from husband Jesse Wood was announced.
Fearne said at the time: “I’m grateful they’re benign. They need to come out because they’re on a nerve.”

I’m happy to say that I’m healing well post-operation.
Fearne added: “Grateful. To those of you who sent me messages that have a similar operation coming up I’m sending love for your recovery.”
‘It’s helping me figure things out’
Meanwhile, regarding her literary ambitions, Fearne typed: “I started writing one book (which I will finish) but then another idea came to me urgently so I’ve started writing another. It’s flowing. It is helping me figure things out. It’s leading me down very interesting paths.”
The mum-of-two went on: “I’m not sure I’ve ever felt more desperate to write a book. Being in this sort of flow is my favourite. Whether it’s writing or painting. More on this book soon.”
How fans reacted
Dozens of commenters on Fearne’s post sent her well wishes for the future.
One told her: “Absolutely wonderful photos and news. Wishing you a beautiful Easter weekend.”
“So glad your scan came back clear,” concurred another.
“Great news about your scan, fabulous way to start the long weekend,” echoed a third.
And a fourth remarked: “Big hugs and so glad to hear about the healing! Long may it continue.”
‘New boyfriend’
In March, it was reported that Fearne was photographed ‘kissing a new boyfriend’ in London’s Soho.
MailOnline claimed the wife of TV director Elliot Hegarty was “totally shocked and devastated” by the snaps.
Additionally, an unnamed source was quoted as saying: “She’s already going through a difficult time, and this has just added to her heartbreak. It wasn’t an easy split because there are also children involved. These pictures have not helped matters.”
