Virgin Media star Martin King's wife Jenny McCarthy asks for prayers after returning to Beaumont hospital

Photographer and wife to Virgin Media star Martin King, Jenny McCarthy has returned to Beaumont Hospital.

The Dubliner underwent surgery last week to remove a brain tumour and was discharged from hospital over the weekend.

Unfortunately, she was back in Beaumont this morning.

She told her Instagram followers: "Can't believe I've had to come back to Beaumont. Please say a prayer they can manage the pain for me".

Jenny also thanked her followers for their "lovely messages".

In 2011, Jenny had a brain tumour successfully removed but last month Jenny revealed to her Instagram followers that the tumour may have begun to regrow.

She wrote: “Hello Everyone. So, I have some news… not the best news but not the worst news either.

“Some of you may already know that I had a brain tumour removed successfully in 2011 by an incredible person, Professor Ciarán Bolcer at Beaumont Hospital.

“Unfortunately, after a recent brain scan, it seems there is new activity. This means there is some ‘swollen tissue’ which is probably the tumour growing

However, she had “good news” after speaking to experts, adding: “Good news is, it’s not malignant and Professor Bolger will need to carry out some more brain surgery to remove it.

“Ciarán has assured me that after surgery, I will need to take six weeks off but after that I’ll be back doing what I love and that’s documenting weddings, newborn baby & portrait shoots and of course, bringing out more incredible wedding and baby products.”
