Fearne underwent the operation in December 2024, just days before announcing her shock split from husband Jesse after 10 years of marriage.

She admitted she is ‘so grateful to be healing’ as she showed off the scar running down her ear.

She captioned the post: ‘The human body is incredible. In less than three weeks you can barely notice where I had the tumour removed. I feel almost normal. My ear is still quite numb and my face a little tender but other than that I’m feeling good.

‘Only swipe if you want to see the gradual stages of healing. It’s not mᴀssively gruesome but it certainly looks worse than pH๏τo number 1. I found the whole process fascinating and feel very grateful that the operation went well and that the tumour was benign.

‘My surgeon Professor Oflynn made me feel extremely calm and all the nurses were complete angels. Nurse Jackie was especially amazing whilst I was in hospital telling me to get off my phone and nap etc. I needed a firm telling off at times.

‘Feeling grateful that I’m healing well and will always wear this scar with pride. A reminder to slow down and look after myself’.

Ahead of surgery Fearne gave no indication of her marital woes as she told followers: ‘Hey gang I’m going to be out of action for a bit due to a surgery. I felt a lump under my ear on my jawline a while ago now but this year noticed it was growing.

‘Turns out it’s a benign tumour and another small one above it on the saliva gland. I’m feeling positive about it all and will take the opportunity to rest and slow right down.

‘If you feel a lump or bump or feel like something is a bit off, always go get it checked. I’m so glad I did as the longer you leave these things the more complicated things become.

‘It’s obviously so weird that only a couple of months ago Davina told me about her tumour and then weeks later I was calling her having discovered mine. I’m not only lucky she’s a bloody good mate but also a beacon of light and positivity when it comes to this stuff.

‘Sending you all loads of love and I’ll see you soon.’

She later issued an update: ‘Operation went really well. Recovering and resting. Thanks so much for all the kind messages.’ 

Breaking her silence on her split from Jesse on Caroline Hirons’ podcast last year, Fearne spoke of the ‘toxic pressure that a woman can have it all’.

After a stressful few weeks of health woes and going through a divorce, while running a business at the same time, Fearne admitted: ‘The pressure is immense’.

She said: ‘There is a lot of pressure for women to prove ourselves, that we can run businesses, I’m trying to do the same with Happy Place. But if we are honest, the pressure is immense.

‘I can imagine you [Caroline] are like me, there are lots of things I’d like to do, lots of goals.

‘I want to grow and expand myself in many ways but I don’t want to feel depleted and stressed out and not be able to be present in my family home, [I want to] have time with my friends, have fun.

‘There is still that toxic sort of trope that women can have it all, that people believe.’

Fearne shares son Rex, 11, and daughter Honey, eight, with Jesse, 48, and she is also stepmother to his children Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18, from his first marriage.
