‘I can’t tell you how much my wonderful wife has gone thru over the past few months – and I don’t mean just living with me – the medical procedures and painful recovery, the set backs and starting from square one again – and she does all this with enormous resilience and determination and the occasional cry.
Nick finished his gushing post writing: ‘I’m so proud of her.’
Fans flocked to the comments to send Katie, 35, well-wishes, including their celebrity pals.

Katie was rushed into emergency surgery last week after suffering ‘crippling pain’ following her hysterectomy.
The lingerie business owner underwent the procedure in July this year after ‘surviving’ years of pain due to PCOS and endometriosis.
However, she suffered a major setback in her recovery 12 weeks after the surgery as she ended up in A&E.
She explained how where her cervix had been sewn up had ruptured, leaving her in pain, bleeding and close to passing out as she admitted it was the ‘most terrifying day I’ve ever had’.

After her successful surgery to stitch her back together she said she felt ‘sore, bruised and exhausted’ and was ‘gutted’ that her recovery had to start all over again.
Katie explained in a lengthy caption: ‘The bit where they took my cervix and sealed it up ruptured which basically meant my insides went rogue, with crippling abdominal pains, difficulty breathing, incredibly painful gas, blood like Moses parting the Red Sea, fluid, and even my bowel where it definitely didn’t belong.
‘Saturday when it happened I was in so much pain I couldn’t move or walk and just cried on my own on the kitchen from 2-5.30am. I nearly passed out from the pain.
‘Bar the exhaustion and menopause bit, the recovery was finally going well. I was pretty much back to normal – although I started working the day after my hysterectomy, so that clearly didn’t help.
‘I was rushed in for emergency surgery. I thought it would be lots of waiting round, but they did blood tests, a CT scan, and had me up & ready for surgery in under 10 hours.

‘There was talk of my bowel having been perforated, having to have open surgery & another lumbar puncture. I had every situation running through my mind and it was terrifying. They had 3 plans for surgery, and two of them were huge. A team of 6 surgeons and 2 anaesthetists looked after me, and made me feel slightly more at ease, during what was the most painful & terrifying day I’ve ever had.
‘Thankfully the surgeons managed to get me back into theatre, fix everything and stitch me back together.
‘I’m very sore, bruised & exhausted, & so gutted that my recovery journey starts all over again now. But thankful it’s fixed, because the pain on Saturday night was excruciating!’
Nick and Katie married in June of this year during a lavish six-figure wedding at Braxted Park, Essex.
