The 42-year-old can be seen smiling in a hospital gown in the post and appears to be in good spirits, adding that she is “sending everyone so much love and positivity for the week ahead.” Roberts praised the NHS and encouraged everyone to get any symptoms they may have urgently checked in her intimate message. “It’s just the start of my journey but I’m going to give it everything I’ve got,” she adds.
After appearing on season three of Big Brother UK in 2002 alongside the likes of Jade Goody and Kate Lawler, Roberts rose to fame and now hosts Weekend Breakfast on Radio 1.
