Jenny also sported a statement headpiece, which is customary for the racecourse’s annual event, opting for a huge feathered hat that perfectly matched her outfit. 

The stunner then added extra height to her frame with a pair of ɴuᴅᴇ heels and toted her essentials for the day in a co-ordinating bag.

Beaming as she made her stylish arrival she accentuated her ageless features with  glam make-up and wore her brunette tresses in loose waves.

Despite the sun shining, the British wind was in full force and swept up Jenny’s dress giving onlookers quite the eye full.

It comes a week after Jenny displayed her incredible abs in a ʙικιɴι as she proudly showed off her scars four months after having surgery.

She underwent a robotic hysterectomy last year to manage extreme symptoms as a result of the menopause. 

Jenny has been open about her health battle, and has often displayed her scars from the gruelling surgery as a way of raising awareness. 

She looked sensational as she took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a collection of snaps from over the last week, including ʙικιɴι pictures from a recent trip to H๏τel Les Deux Tours in Marrakech. 

Jenny wowed in a green and white tie-dye style triangle ʙικιɴι, while in another mirror selfie she sported a multicoloured striped skimpy two-piece. 

She captioned the snaps: ‘Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory last forever.  Thank you Shane Falco for these words… I’m living them!’.

‘In the past week alone from hosting for amazing charities @athletic_minds_foundation @foundation92 @mftcharity to sharing my weekends as always on the radio @greatesthitsuk to rebooting @H๏τel_les_deux_tours. 

‘The balance is key and the energy is real .. shine on my lovelies. We all have scars inside and out .. it’s the healing process that matters.’

In other snaps, Jenny looked radiant as she posed in a striking bright red summer maxi dress. 

Just four months ago, Jenny underwent a hysterectomy and last month explained that the last two years have been the most difficult for her.

She told OK!: ‘Even though I tried to send out all these positive, smiley, “everything’s lovely” vibes, I was suffering.

‘I had terrible bleeding, really bad, to the point where I was changing four times a day and in a job like mine, that isn’t good.’

Jenny thinks that women’s health is ‘neglected’ and that the concept of ‘just getting used’ to struggling is something that frustrates her.

The Greatest Hits Radio host had been on a family holiday in her ʙικιɴι last year when some paparazzi pictures of herself started doing the rounds in the media.

When she saw the images, Jenny noticed a ‘bump in [her] lower abdomen’ which caused concern and she underwent an MRI.

The scan revealed that her abdomen was as if she ‘was about 16 weeks pregnant’ with the amount of pressure it was under, and she felt compelled to share her story.

She added: ‘It was so big it was pressing on my intestines, on my bladder, on my kidneys. 

‘It’s only looking back – now that it’s gone – that I think, “Wow.” And that’s why I put it all out there.’

Soon after undergoing the operation in early October, Jenny explained: ‘I’ve suffered for so long with all sorts of symptoms and tried all sorts, but yeah it’s time, so hence the hysterectomy.

‘Because I’m menopausal of course things are different it’s not like this is been brought on early.

‘But I’m just wondering if they’ll be any connection between it and my emotions. So it will be interesting. I’m just about to put my fancy gown on so come back later.’

Jenny previously revealed she was forced into hospital after severe menopause symptoms left her struggling to ‘get out of bed every day.’

What is a hysterectomy? 

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman’s uterus.

There are three kinds:

PARTIAL HYSTERECTOMY: Removes two-thirds of the uterus. TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY: Removes uterus and cervix.RADICAL HYSTERECTOMY: Removes uterus, cervix and ovaries.

The operation is most commonly performed on women between the ages of 40 and 49.

More than 20 million American women have had a hysterectomy, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

As women approach menopause, the odds that they will develop one of several serious uterine health conditions increases. Doctors may recommend a hysterectomy as a treatment for:

fibroids endometriosis uterine (endometrial) cancer chronic uterine pain or bleeding collapsed uterus

In some cases, doctors may suggest a hysterectomy as a preventative measure if a woman has significant warning or early signs of developing one or more of these conditions.

When necessary, surgeons may also remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes, if these have also been damaged or are at serious risk of damage.

The removal of reproductive organs sends a woman’s body into menopause, no matter how old she is.

This comes with unpleasant side effects like H๏τ flashes, and many women have to start hormone therapy, taking oestrogen to balance out their own hormones.
