Kim Woodburn reveals that she had to have her throat sliced as part of an operation to fix her hearing.

Kim Woodburn has updated fans on the state of her health after revealing that she was in hospital last week.

The 80-year-old tweeted a picture of herself in a hospital bed, sparking concern that she was unwell, but she has now returned home and explained details of a procedure that involved her throat being sliced open.

Appearing with bandages over her throat, she said in an Instagram video: "I had a disc behind the ear that was fractured or something, broken. The specialist had to go in, he cut a big hole in my throat here.

"He somehow went in with his fingers and took out the rotten disc and put a titanium disc in.

"I'm getting use back in my fingers because it was killing all the use in my fingers. That was the reason he did it.

"If I went to my legs, I wouldn't be able to walk. I think it's quite good you know.

"So thanks for all the messages but I'm not dying my lovely. I refuse to die, dear.

"Messages from all over the world have been coming in. Thanks my loves, I don't half appreciate you."

Woodburn ended the video by sipping from a large glass of gin.
