The TV presenter, 56, who underwent a robotic hysterectomy earlier this year, stunned in a strappy vest as she showed off a series of yoga poses.

In her latest workout video, Jenny looked stronger than ever as she showed off her amazing physique.

She wrote: ‘It’s been a while but finally, 10 weeks post-op, I’m feeling the benefits of getting back to my yoga practice! Small steps, but it feels so good in mind and body, slowly feeling more connected.

“It’s an isolated place when you’re having major surgery, you disconnect from people and things going on around you (survival mode, let’s say), good days, bad days, but getting there, that’s It’s safe.”

Jenny, who is engaged to her fiancé Martin Lowe, has two children, Constance, 22, and Pollyanna, 14, from her previous relationship with Toby Baxendale, a British businessman.

Jenny underwent a hysterectomy to relieve severe menopause symptoms, which she has been incredibly open about.

Reflecting on her recovery and sharing images of her scars healing last month, she warned other women to “take the healing process seriously.”

She wrote: ‘What a month, four weeks after my robotic hysterectomy and good healing. I have really been overwhelmed by the response to my posts and updates.

‘I’m planning an event and building a community here, but also keeping in touch with as many of you as I can. So, just saying, healing and slowing down to do so is hard work in itself.

‘I have found it very difficult to ignore the tasks of daily life at work, at home and at play. So take the healing process seriously or it will bite you in the butt later.

‘Make sure you have a plan in place and get the right advice post-op regarding your hormones/HRT/self-care and accept help whenever you get it… (thanks mom, my daughters and everyone in the job!) Hystersisters, more to come as we’re on the road to recovery…we’ve got this!!’

She shared snaps of her scars every week for the four weeks and also posted a series of lovely messages from other women who had gone through the same thing.

While the devices cost just under £2 million each, they reduce the time it takes to perform the delicate surgery and, as they also work with millimeter precision, mean patients recover faster.

Called Hominis, this surgical system is operated by a human controller who maneuvers the robotic arms while watching the procedure on a screen in real time.

The robot features shoulder, elbow and wrist joints to provide human-level dexterity and 360-degree articulation.

An additional arm guides a laparoscopic video camera through a small, separate incision to help visualize the internal procedure.

Hominis enters through the vagina to perform the hysterectomy and then surrounds the uterus with its arms to perform the operation.

Last month, Jenny used the two-week milestone after her procedure to give an update, telling her followers: ‘It’s been two weeks since the day I had my hysterectomy.

“Thousands of people have messaged me and I just want to clarify one thing: I had a robotic hysterectomy, so I had a surgeon controlling the arms of a robot to do the entire operation.”

“So it was less invasive but also the recovery time is a little quicker.”

Throwing a warning to others in recovery, she then added: “As for recovery, I’ve been doing a few things here and there and yesterday I was absolutely floored because I did too much, so don’t overdo it, it’s not worth it.”

Continuing with her video while showing off her scars: “The scars look good, but there’s a lot of healing going on inside and that’s the thing about baby steps.”

She also shared a picture of her stomach and wrote in the caption: ‘2 weeks post op – no need for painkillers (just itchy for healing). I can finally lie on my side to sleep.

‘Follow a diet rich in fiber. Readjusting my HRT with my consultant. Go outdoors/walk/rehabilitation. Playing healing frequency 285 on Spotify AND REST.’

Shortly after undergoing the operation in early October, Jenny explained: “I’ve suffered for a long time with all kinds of symptoms and I’ve tried all kinds, but yeah, it’s about time, hence the hysterectomy.”

‘As I’m menopausal of course things are different, it’s not like this came on early.

‘But I just wonder if there is some connection between this and my emotions. Then it will be interesting. I’m about to put on my fancy dress, 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”.

They see her just a few days after her surgery.

The presenter said that she was forced to undergo an iron infusion after suffering anemia due to severe blood loss.

She told Closer magazine: ‘The menopause affected me mentally and I didn’t feel like myself. My periods were terrible, I had to change about five times a day and I lost so much blood that I became anemic. I was really tired and depressed.

“I had a hard time getting out of bed and couldn’t wait to get back to bed at night.”

Jenny spoke candidly about her experience with perimenopause (the time before a woman’s periods stop) and said she didn’t address her symptoms immediately and that her condition worsened because she had left it for so long.

That meant he ended up needing treatment in hospital, adding: “I left it too long to sort it out, so in the end I had to have iron infusions in hospital.”

What is a hysterectomy?

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

There are three types:

  • PARTIAL HYSTERECTOMY: Eliminates two thirds of the uterus.
  • TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY: Eliminates the uterus and cervix.
  • RADICAL HYSTERECTOMY: Eliminates uterus, cervix and ovaries.

The operation is most often performed on women between 40 and 49 years old.

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, their chances of developing one of several serious uterine health conditions increase. 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 preventive measure if a woman has significant warnings or early signs of developing one or more of these conditions.

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

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

This leads to unpleasant side effects, such as hot flashes, and many women have to start hormone therapy and take estrogen to balance their own hormones.
