FEARNE Cotton has shared a health update four months after getting two tumours removed.
The presenter, 43, revealed last year she was having imminent surgery after discovering two tumours on her jawline.
Months on, she has shared an update with fans, explaining the latest after her health scare.
Fearne wrote on Instagram: "Had an ultra sound today and I'm happy to say that I'm healing well post operation and there is not a scrap of tumour left on my parotid gland. Grateful.
"To those of you who sent me messages that have a similar operation coming up I'm sending love for your recovery."
Last December, Fearne shared candid snaps of the gradual stages of healing after the procedure to remove the benign tumours – including the scars that she was left with.
The wellness guru told fans on social media: "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 O'Flynn 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."
The mum-of-two concluded: "Feeling grateful that I'm healing well and will always wear this scar with pride. A reminder to slow down and look after myself."
Elsewhere, The Sun revealed Fearne is in a new relationship with Elliot Hegarty, 53, a TV executive.
It comes following the star's split from musician husband Jesse Wood – son of Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood.
Having started dating in 2011, Jesse and Fearne tied the knot in 2014 in a intimate ceremony attended by celeb pals including Denise van Outen, Holly Willoughby, and Keith Lemon.
The couple welcomed their first child together, Rex, in 2013, followed by daughter, Honey, in 2015.
