Lorraine said: "I had a wee operation on my shoulder, it’s been annoying me for ages. Thank you to Professor Levy and his brilliant team because, oh my goodness, keyhole surgery is incredible. I just had to remove some calcification and a little bit of bone."

The longtime morning show host added: "I’m doing my physio and I’m all fine. But we had a really quiet one at Christmas and New Year."

Dr Hilary asked Lorraine whether or not she was able to have a drink over the festive period and she confirmed she did, saying: "Yes, you said it was alright to have one or two.

Lorraine then added: "I was actually very, very well behaved and I’m fine and I’m doing lots of different exercises, I’m getting there. How amazing is keyhole surgery? It’s extraordinary."
