TV presenter Davina McCall says she is "on the mend" and feeling "really lucky", after surgery for a benign brain tumour.
The former Big Brother presenter, 57, also known for The Masked Singer and My Mum, Your Dad, found about her colloid cyst after she was offered a health check-up as part of her menopause advocacy work.
She spent time in intensive care after the procedure to remove the mass, and her partner Michael Douglas has been keeping her followers updated on her condition.
On Monday McCall posted her own video on Instagram, saying "an enormous, heartfelt thank you to everybody who's messaged me or been in touch", adding it "meant the world".

Appearing emotional, she said: "It’s been mad, and it’s just really nice to be back home, I’m on the other side.
"My short-term memory is a bit remiss, but that is something that I can work on, so I’m really happy about that.
"I’m writing down everything that I’m doing to keep myself feeling safe, and I’m being brilliantly looked after by Michael and my mum. I’d quickly like to say, big up the step-mums, I don’t really say thank you to Gabby enough, she’s been an amazing rock my whole life.
"I was talking yesterday to somebody, I said, I’ve got a massive dose of vitamin G, I think when something like this happens, I just feel so grateful.
"I’ve always been grateful, I’ve been really lucky in my life, but I feel unbelievably grateful right now.
"So thanks for everything, all of you. I’m on the mend and resting and sleeping loads, and I feel really good. I just feel very lucky."
In a message accompanying the video, McCall said Douglas got the "best boyfriend ever award" and her mother got the "best mum ever award".
She wrote: "I am feeling much better, had a great nights sleep in my own bed.
"(I) have a couple of sleeps during the day which keeps my brain clear, slowly slowly, huge gratitude and love for the world, and my life, and the beautiful people in it."
McCall has long advocated on women’s health issues, and presented documentaries on contraception and the menopause.
She has also raised money for Cancer Research UK by running the Race For Life, in honour of her sister Caroline Baday, who died from lung cancer in 2012 at the age of 50.
