Fearne Cotton to have surgery for benign jaw tumours

Podcast host and TV presenter Fearne Cotton has said she is to undergo an operation to remove two benign tumours from her jaw.

In a video posted to her Instagram page, she said: "I've got a benign tumour just in my jaw here, below my ear, 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."

She also said her podcast, Happy Place, will "carry on as normal".
