The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Seema Malhotra has received a raft of support after sharing a photo of herself in hospital as she prepared to have her ovaries removed.
The Forever Unique fashion house owner and founder joked about her 'Bottega green' compression tights as she took a snap of herself from her hospital bed.
The mother-of-two was flooded with messages from well-wishers after sharing the photo on her Instagram.

"Tonight’s vibe," she wrote about her outfit.
"Compression tights - Bottega green worn with Aashort printed collarless gown that ties in the back."
And she added with a celebratory hands-up emoji: "Time to get these ovaries out."
Seema, who joined the Real Housewives cast in series three back in 2016, has previously spoken about her health scares on the ITVBe reality show after being left in agony from an ovarian cyst.
Then a CT scan for the cyst picked up a lump in her left breast, which turned out not to be cancerous.
After opening up about these health scares she said that she was awaiting surgery to remove her ovaries.
In September as she turned 50 she told us: "It’s been a rocky road but I’ve come out the other side feeling fitter and stronger than ever."
A year ago Seema was seen in great pain on The Real Housewives after a cyst was found on her left ovary.
The entrepreneur had to flee a dinner party because she was in agony.
There was a hospital dash when the cyst, which was 5.5cm, burst and it was discovered that Seema also has another smaller cyst on her right ovary.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on an ovary and can cause symptoms including pain in the tummy, bloating and irregular periods.
Most ovarian cysts disappear in a few months without treatment.
Large cysts or cysts causing symptoms may need to be surgically removed.
