Sue Cleaver was rushed to hospital and had to undergo emergency surgery, leaving her in intensive care.
The Coronation Street actress was on Loose Women today as a guest panellist, where she chatted with her co-stars Jane Moore, Denise Welch and Coleen Nolan. The group began by discussing the perils of struggling to fit in, before talk turned to Sue's recent rant about a company that had used her image falsely to try and sell diet pills.
She opened up about her own weight loss, admitting she had lost a lot of weight last year when she decided to give up alcohol. However, she soon shared with the panellists about her recent health scare.
Sue explained to Coleen, Jane and Denise that she had had a hysterectomy earlier this year, before admitting that if she looked any smaller this year, it was because she had been rushed to hospital due to a health problem. As a result of her hospital trip, she was given emergency surgery but insists she is doing much better now.
Sue chatted about her surgery on Loose Women today (ITV)Speaking about her ordeal, she said: "I had a really bad year. I had a hysterectomy in March. Then a few weeks ago, I ended up in A&E, I don't need to go into details, but it was a scary scary time. I had surgery and ended up in intensive care. There is no diet, there are no gummies. These companies pray on vulnerable people all the time."

After seeing the ad online about the diet pills, Sue had taken to social media to slam the fake advert.
"I'm really, really sad that I have to actually make this video. But, I’ve had quite a lot of messages over the last couple of weeks asking me about… keto dummies. There is obviously some scam going around saying that I lost weight using keto gummies. Dummies? I dunno. Well, it’s c**p. It’s a scam. And if you’ve been taken in by it, I am so, so sorry," she said at the time.
Sue has lost weight through lifestyle choices over the recent years, explaining she did it by cutting out alcohol.
"I went on HRT about a year and a half ago and realised I should have done that about five years ago. I was walking around in a bit of a fog and then I literally made some massive changes. In the pandemic we all over-did things," she said.
"I spent a lot of it drinking lots of lovely red wine and I put on a lot of weight doing it. Then I did dry January and I thought: 'I wonder what life would be like if I stopped completely?'" As a result, Sue lost an extensive amount of weight but urged others not to obsess over their figure and size as she slammed society's view on people's weight.
