After uploading a series of snaps showing her in the hospital ward, the mum-of-three wrote on Instagram: “A big humungous THANK YOU to the team at the Royal Brompton Hospital for their care and support.
“A few weeks ago, I had keyhole heart surgery, which feels very strange to write, and even stranger when I say it out loud.
“From investigations last year, to diagnosis and then surgery, they were absolutely incredible. As was @mattjwillis who never left my side.
“Turns out, I’ve been pottering around for 48 years blissfully unaware I had a hole in my heart.

We then revealed the six signs of the silent killer that left Emma in hospital.
Her Big Brother predecessor Davina McCall had a benign brain tumour removed recently and former BBC Radio DJ Fearne Cotton underwent surgery on two tumours on her jawline.
DAVINA’S STORY
The my Mum Your Dad host underwent an operation to remove a benign tumour in November.
Davina was diagnosed with a benign but very rare tumour purely by chance after being offered a scan a few months ago.
The star — mum to Holly, 23, Tilly, 21, and Chester, 18, from her former marriage to TV presenter Matthew Robertson — sought further medical advice before opting for a craniotomy.
Just last month, she revealed she had the “all clear” after the life-saving surgery.
