Her time in the operating theatre went relatively well, and a full hysterectomy was achieved. Bunty has left the building.

"Thank you so much for all your kind words, positive thoughts and prayers."

Godley and her friends gathered last night to have a pre-op "hen party". She told fans: "My last night with my womb, we are having a pre op “hen party”. "I have been drawing Fallopian tubes on cards and pin the tumour on the ovary, we’re having cocktails of flat water and tomorrow at 7am I am off - thank you Scottish NHS and everyone here for lifting me up."

 Fans got in touch to share their best wishes. One said: "Thanks for the update. Glad that Bunty has been successfully evicted, and now mum can concentrate on her recovery. Wishing her well."
