“You might notice my new scar,” The Chase quiz master wrote. “You’d be hard pushed to not spot it, given it’s right on the front of my neck.

“My thyroid gland made a bid for fame and got so big it started causing some problems so we* chopped it out.

“I’m fine. Surgery was all good and the consultant was very happy. My voice still works and it’s healing nicely.”

Jenny added: “Thanks to the head and neck gang and all the terrific people who looked after me at UCH. The NHS is beyond wonderful.”

Fans were quick to comment on Jenny’s post, with one writing: “So glad You’re ok and happy to hear your voice is fine. All the best.”

Another said: “Scar will fade Jenny. I had my thyroid removed when I was in my 30s and you can hardly see it now.”

And a third added: “Glad you’re mending well. Take all the time you need.”

Jenny’s co-star Anne Hegarty recently opened up about why The Chase has been put on ice for a year. 

Speaking to The Jattvibe: “We are taking a little bit of a filming break because we’ve got so many shows in the can, we’ve got hundreds of shows in the can.

“Last year we did two series of Beat the Chasers, which we were only supppsed to do one.

“And it gives everyone time to do things. Bradley [Walsh, the show’s presenter] has things he wants to do, Jenny has her singing.

“I am interested in doing some acting, there is a film director interested in me.”
