Stunning BBC presenter Emma Louise Jones has revealed what caused her recent hospital health scare.
Earlier this week, Emma, 36, posted a picture giving a thumbs up from her hospital bed, adding: “Not my favourite kind of hotel.”
The blonde bombshell has now revealed she was suffering from pancreatitis, and will have surgery to remove her gallbladder next week. Thanking her followers, she said: “Thank you for all of your lovely messages checking in on me.
“I have pancreatitis & I’m having the ol’ gallbladder out next week, so hopefully I’ll be back to me best after that But for now, any recommendations of what to watch please? I’M BORED.”
Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition where your pancreas suddenly becomes swollen and painful inflamed. It needs urgent treatment in hospital.

She continued to thank her fans and added: “Life is very simple right now. I spend my days walking Teddy, painting and gardening (Nanna would be proud).”
Emma, who is from Leeds, has worked with her beloved club for the BBC on MOTDx, and also hosted a podcast about the Peacocks. However, it was during her time on the Crunch and Roll podcast that she opened up about the most embarrassing moment of her career.
She explained: “So, when I drove my little BMW 1 series, I am one of those people who like, kisses the steering wheel when they drive.
“But that meant when I got out, you know, everything was towards the steering wheel, so I would accidentally knock the horn with my, erm, breasts. And it used to scare the s**t out of me!”
