Fearne Cotton reveals tumour scars for first time after surgery 'The human body is amazing'

Fearne Cotton has revealed to fans how she is recovering from surgery - after announcing she had two tumours and revealing she was divorcing husband Jesse Woods

Fearne Cotton has bravely revealed the healing scars from having surgery two remove tumours from her jaw.

The Happy Place podcast host and TV and radio presenter revealed earlier this month that she was undergoing an operation to remove two benign tumours from her jaw.

Today she returned to social media to share a glimpse of her recovery. Fearne, who is a mum of two, said she was 'feeling grateful that I'm healing well and will wear this scar with pride.'

Alongside photos of the right side of her face, Fearne began: The human body is incredible.

"In less than three weeks you can barely notice where I had the tumour removed. I feel almost normal. My ear is still quite numb and my face a little tender but other than that I'm feeling good.

Only swipe if you want to see the gradual stages of healing. It's not massively gruesome but it certainly looks worse than photo number 1. I found the whole process fascinating and feel very grateful that the operation went well and that the tumour was benign. My surgeon Professor Oflynn made me feel extremely calm and all the nurses were complete angels. Nurse Jackie was especially amazing whilst I was in hospital telling me to get off my phone and nap etc. I needed a firm telling off at times."

She went on: "Feeling grateful that I'm healing well and will always wear this scar with pride. A reminder to slow down and look after myself." It's been a difficult few weeks for the star who also announced she was splitting with her husband Jesse Woods.

Earlier this month, Fearne told her followers she had a benign tumour in her jaw below her ear and another 'little tiny one' above it.

“I’m very grateful they’re benign but they do need to come out because they’re on a nerve. So I’m gonna have that surgery, and then I’m gonna be resting to get better before Christmas. Not very good at resting, so wondering how that’s gonna go. But I’m feeling okay about it. I’m going into the operation feeling good and well.”
