TOWIE star Bobby Norris has shared update from his hospital bed after being rushed for surgery after finding a lump.
Bobby, 38, found a lump on his testicle last summer and told fans before his surgery last week that his condition was "not great".
After undergoing the procedure, Bobby took to his social media with a post-surgery update.
Sitting in his hospital bed and looking exhausted, the former reality star said: "I'm not long up from surgery, the nurse is just so sweet and lovely. In fact, everyone has been so kind."
The star admitted he was in pain as he pulled an uncomfortable expression.
He continued: "Sore... obviously which is to be expected. I've had an operation and surgery, of course I'm going to be sore.
"I've been fasting which is hungry work this fasting.
"They're getting me a ham sandwich, lovely pot of tea and I think the nurse will be back around again with some pain relief, that will take the edge off.
"Just a shout out to everyone that works in hospitals that are so kind and lovely because it really does make a difference, especially if it's a patient that's a bit scared."
Last week Bobby appeared on the verge of tears as he sat on his bed and told his fans about his surgery.
He said: "I'm currently in hospital and about to have an operation today.
"Some of you might remember that a few months back I found a lump and had gone to my GP and was then referred to a specialist to have further tests on it and was told to keep an eye on it.
"And we've kept an eye on it... sorry, I don't think I've kind of explained.
"So I found a lump on one of my testicles and um... yeah.
"So we've kept an eye on it. Not great. Um, so yeah. I'm in hospital today having an operation on it."
Bobby, who starred in last year's series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, went on to warn fans to visit their GP if they find a lump.
He said: "It's so important for everyone to check themselves.
"You have to check your body as soon as possible, because we're the first to know if any changes happen.
"Don't be embarrassed. Especially men.
"We feel embarrassed to go to a hospital and drop our Calvins for a doctor. Don't.
"And of course, I am scared. I don't like the thought of having it opened up like a Babybel.
"But it's got to be done. So check yourself, guys."
Bobby first told fans about his lump last August after visiting the GP.
He said the doctor "wasn't happy with it" and referred him to the hospital for further tests, including an ultrasound scan.
The star, who found fame on Towie in 2012, then said he was in for a "scary wait" for his results.
