Alongside a video, Fearne wrote: “Hi friends, I’ll be out of action for a while due to surgery.” A while ago I felt a lump under my ear on my jaw, but this year I noticed it was growing.
‘It turns out that it is a benign tumor and another small one on top of it in the salivary gland. I feel positive about all this and will take the opportunity to rest and slow down the pace.

Last month, Davina shared that she underwent brain tumor surgery, after revealing she had a “very rare” colloid cyst that affects only three in a million people.
The presenter explained that she received the diagnosis by chance after scheduling herself for a ‘health examination’.
Addressing his fans in a video, he said: “I was offered a health test which I thought I was going to pass, but it turned out I had a benign brain tumour, which is very rare, three in a million.”
“I had my head in the sand a little bit for a while, visited some neurosurgeons, had a lot of opinions and realized I needed to get it out.
‘It’s quite big, it’s 14 mm wide and you have to remove it because if it grows it would be bad. I’m going to have it removed.
He concluded his message: ‘Say a prayer for me. I’m in a good mood.’
Davina explained that while she was not at any immediate risk, doctors were concerned that the tumor could grow and cause complications.
In a health update on Monday, Davina praised her surgeon Kevin O’Neill for performing her procedure and, although she originally woke up feeling “very confused” after the surgery, she is now doing much better.
She revealed that she had been feeling “up and down” and explained that she would be in hospital for at least nine days before returning home.
A colloid cyst is a slow-growing tumor that is usually found near the center of the brain and contains gelatinous material. Benign growths are usually asymptomatic and found incidentally during imaging tests.
If symptoms occur as the tumor grows, they are commonly reported to include headaches that are most severe in the morning upon waking, nausea, and blurred vision, with other key signs including vertigo and double vision.
Most patients experience headaches, although other symptoms such as vertigo, memory problems, and double vision may occur.
If large enough, a colloid cyst obstructs the movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, leading to a high risk of sudden death.

While she recovers at home, her boyfriend Michael Douglas has also been giving updates, explaining that after the “very, very emotional” ordeal, she is focusing on resting.
Davina previously opened up about the struggles she faces since her surgery, but explained that sleeping is helping her recover.
She said: ‘Just a little update here. Michael and Gabby, my mother, are taking great care of me. And just to say that I’m trying to sleep a lot and get better.
‘My short-term memory really improves every day. It has been an example to me of how sleeping a lot helps me recover from everything.
‘So if I’m feeling a little foggy or struggling to concentrate, I just go to sleep and wake up completely refreshed and refreshed. I know my brain needs a lot of sleep.’
However, Michael has assured fans that Davina is “out of the woods” now and plans to return to work in mid-January.
