Posting to Instagram, the 65-year-old said the operation is “purely preventative” and thanked hospital staff for their care so far, having already undergone scans.
Kelly said in the post: “I just wanted to let you know I’m having a wee procedure today.
“I’ve not been feeling all that well for a little while, so I had some scans and tests, and I have to have my ovaries and my tubes taken out.
“It’s purely preventative, it’s going to be with keyhole surgery, which is incredible, and I’m being very well looked after, and I’ll obviously see you really soon, and I’m going to be totally fine.”
“See you soon, bye.”
