“Thankfully the lump was benign, I’m really lucky. I’m recovering well in hospital — and quietly, because my voice box is also on the mend.”

Merrington had also been busy launching her new pregnancy app called BUB which is the #1 trending medical app.

“I’ve been engrossed in the medical world recently, working with midwives and obstetricians for my new pregnancy companion app.

“These people are incredible. Time and time again they amaze me with their knowledge, expertise and compassion.”
