Beverley Callard Shares Emotional Health Update After Surgery

has revealed that she was kept in hospital overnight due to 'complications' in an emotional post shared to Instagram on Saturday following her breast surgery.

Street legend, 68, received news of her diagnosis just after she relocated to Dublin, having scooped a role on Irish soap opera Fair City. She announced the news earlier this month.

Beverley, who is best known for her role as Liz McDonald in the sofa, reassured fans that the cancer was caught early, but said she would need to return to the UK for radiotherapy and surgery.

In her new post, she revealed she was supposed to go home yesterday after her surgery on Friday, but had to stay due to minor complications following the operation, where she had to have two lymph nodes removed.

Lymph nodes are removed after a breast cancer diagnosis because cells that move beyond the breast often get trapped in the underarm.

Revealing that she has had 'a bit of a cry', she gave her concerned followers a sweet update just hours after getting home.

She said: 'I'm home. I was supposed to come home yesterday, but they decided to keep me in overnight.

'Minor complications. So I have been home for a couple of hours. I looked very pale, the nurses were calling me pale and passionate.

'I don't know about passionate, but I am very pale. I'm feeling okay. I had a bit of a cry as you do, but I am okay.

'Emotions are all over the place, you know which is you know... anyway, I won't rant on about that. The staff at Norfolk And Norwich Hospital were truly amazing.

'And wait for this, who needs Louis Vuitton, Josh, one of the nurses, his nan makes these to keep the drain bottle in, I won't go any further than that.

'But it's the handiest thing ever. So I'm just telling you, I will update you tomorrow.'

Beverley has kept her followers up to date during her journey battling cancer.

On Friday, the actress filmed a video from the hospital and told her Instagram followers she was preparing to go in for surgery.
