Jenny Ryan has opened up to fans after sharing photos that showed a noticeable scar on the front of her neck.
The much-loved quiz personality, widely known to viewers of The Chase, explained that she had recently undergone surgery after her thyroid became enlarged and started causing problems.
Rather than making the update feel heavy, Jenny approached the situation with her usual humour, gently joking about the scar and the fact that it is difficult to miss.
She reassured followers that the operation had gone well and said her consultant was pleased with the outcome. Most importantly for fans who also know her for her singing, Jenny confirmed that her voice is still working and that the area is healing well.
She also shared her gratitude for the medical team who looked after her, giving special thanks to those involved in her care and speaking warmly about the NHS.
Supportive messages soon followed from fans, with many saying they were relieved to hear she was doing well. Some also shared their own experiences of thyroid surgery, offering encouragement that the scar may become less visible with time.
The update comes during a short filming pause for The Chase, which gives Jenny time to focus on recovery before returning to the screen.
For many viewers, her message felt honest, calm and reassuring — a personal update delivered with the same wit and resilience fans have come to admire.
