Famous television presenter Emma Willis announced her emotional experience of undergoing closed-heart surgery after a congenital hole was detected in her heart through a post on her social media account. The 49-year-old presenter stated that she received thousands of supportive messages after the surgery.
Willis announced that a hole was found in her heart as a result of health checks and that she underwent closed-heart surgery a few weeks ago at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London. The presenter emphasized that her husband, Matt Willis, the lead singer of the band Busted, never left her side during the surgery process, and she also shared a photo of herself taken in the hospital bed on Instagram.
"I LIVED UNAWARE FOR 48 YEARS"
In her post, Emma used the following expressions: "I want to give a huge thank you to the team at Royal Brompton Hospital for their care and support. I underwent closed-heart surgery a few weeks ago. Even writing this feels very strange, and saying it out loud is even weirder. It has been an incredible journey from the tests that started last year to the diagnosis and surgery." Willis, who stated that she just learned the hole in her heart was congenital, said, "I was completely unaware of this situation for 48 years. It is truly unbelievable not to know what is happening in our bodies. Modern medicine and the hands that save lives every day are truly miraculous."
