Emmerdale star Martelle Edinborough has confirmed she is back filming for the ITV soap after undergoing brain surgery.
The Suzy Merton actress revealed back in April that she was recently in hospital to treat a brain aneurysm.
‘A few wks ago I was told an existing brain aneurysm thought to always be tiny & stable had in fact always been of a size that needed treatment,’ she posted on her Twitter account early on April 19.
She continued: ‘Not sure where the error occurred for it to take so long to highlight this but despite the initial shock, I could only receive it as a Blessing & refused to allow it manifest into fear, stress & anxiety.
‘Yesterday, I had surgery where Dr’s were able to amazingly & successfully treat the aneurysm, placing a flow diverter in the artery to cut the off the blood supply to it, soon enabling it disappear for Good!’
The actress then posted a picture of herself in her hospital bed after the operation, looking relaxed and smiley. She said that she was feeling ‘happy and blessed’ and gave full credit for her swift and successful treatment to ‘all the incredible @NHSuk Dr’s, nurses & support staff.’
In the comments that well-wishers posted, Martelle also added that the NHS staff ‘really do deserve everything they are asking for.’
