Overview

  • Singh’s appendix ruptured on May 2, a day after she hosted Lorraine, and she underwent emergency surgery at midnight.
  • She credited her concern to Lorraine’s bowel cancer awareness drive, which prompted her to seek help when she feared cancer.
  • Doctors initially dismissed her severe abdominal pain before scans revealed the ruptured appendix and infection risk.
  • The rupture allowed bacteria to enter her bloodstream and caused intense shoulder pain during her hospital stay.
  • After returning to co-host Good Morning Britain on May 17, Singh is now encouraging viewers to act quickly on health warnings.
