Paul Hollywood 's ex girlfriend Summer Monteys-Fullam has given a health update following a hospital dash.
The former barmaid turned aesthetics worker, 27, revealed she underwent keyhole surgery after a cyst burst in her ovary.
Summer was left in excruciating pain and took to her social media to explain the cyst had filled a sac behind her womb with fluid.
Doctors were concerned her ovary had twisted, but thankfully the operation went well as the cyst was drained.
She also told her followers that she was on the mend after spending three days in hospital.

Before heading into theatre, Summer posted a picture of herself making a peace sign and wrote: "Hey guys I'm off to surgery now will update you all when I'm on the other side."

"I had key hole surgery after a huge cyst burst on my ovary and filled a sack behind my womb with a lot of fluid!
"The concern was whether the ovary was twisted and would die off."
Summer added: "However, all was ok and the fluid was drained. I've never experienced pain like it!!!!
"Anyway I can't thank all the team at the Gloucester Royal emergency Gynae dept for taking such great care of me.
"After three days and two nights at the hospital I'm ready to go home and get back to work asap."
Just days before her hospital dash, Summer posted about her busy work week as she shared the results of the lip fillers she had given to a client.
Summer wrote in the caption: "I’ve been so busy this week doing lips and I'm obsessed with these gorgeous ones . £140 for 1ml".
The red haired beauty dated Bake Off judge Paul, 57, from 2017 until 2019. Summer and Paul met after the GBBO star arranged a birthday party for his then-wife Alexandra at the bar where Summer worked.

The pair were first romantically linked in November 2017 after Paul's split from Alexandra.
Summer and Paul split in August 2019, as she described their romance as a "disaster" during an Instagram Q&A.
When asked by a fan if she would rather date someone who isn't in the limelight, Summer explained: "I get asked this a lot
"100%, I'm not interested in the slightest in dating someone famous again. It was a disaster!! Lol."

Summer thanked fans for their kind messages as she gave an update (Instagram)"I want someone on my wave length," she insisted. "I want someone that's loyal, love me for me, and my love of animals.
"Someone who accepts how close I am to my family and supports me in what I do. Oh, and someone who has my back like I have theirs."
The couple had a bitter split, in which Summer is said to have refused to sign legal paperwork, which would have banned her from speaking about their relationship.
Paul then accused her of "courting" media attention as the break up turned sour, leading to Summer threatening legal action.
She took to Instagram to post: "I am very disappointed and distressed by false and highly defamatory statements that Paul has made about me online since our break-up.
"I’ve no alternative but to instruct my solicitors Brett Wilson LLP to pursue legal proceedings against Paul in order to obtain vindication.
"I have never courted publicity over my relationship with Paul and I am deeply disappointed our relationship has ended in this way."
Prior to dating Summer, Paul was married to ex-wife Alexandra for 19 years.
Last year, he reportedly got engaged to landlady Melissa Spalding, 38, who he has been dating since 2019.
