This Morning’s Dr. Zoe Williams revealed she is ‘home and comfortable’ following her back surgery.

The TV star, 45, confirmed earlier this month she was to undergo major spinal surgery after years of suffering with chronic back pain, and Zoe has now confirmed the operation has been a success.

Taking to Instagram, Zoe posted a photo of her relaxing on the sofa alongside the caption: ‘I’m home and comfortable after my back surgery this afternoon. Will share lots more in the coming days.’

In addition, Zoe had also shared videos of her walking an hour after having the surgery.

As she got up, a creaking sound could be heard, and Zoe quipped: ‘That was just the knees clicking. They do that.’

She later showed off the bandage at the bottom of her spine, and captioned the post: ‘Dressed. No bending, twisting, lifting for six weeks.’

In another video posted to social media, Zoe’s surgeon Mr. Akmal confirmed the operation ‘went really well’.

He added: ‘The nerves were being literally … normally your nerve canal should be really circular but yours was kind of flat – so the nerves were being really compressed.’

Zoe previously confirmed she would be undergoing the surgery as a ‘last resort’ after living in pain due to a condition called spinal stenosis.

She explained: ‘My diagnosis is of severe spinal stenosis and the surgery is called a lumber decompression.

‘The surgeon will be removing overgrown ligaments and bone which are a result of degenerative changes to my spine.

‘These structures, as well as a slightly bulging disc are encroaching on my spinal canal meaning that the nerves inside my spinal column are being compressed.

‘It’s different to sciatica, which in many cases resolves over time. I’ve come to learn that my condition will not resolve as it is due to degenerative change, and will likely get worse with time.

‘Surgery really is a last resort for me having tried just about everything else over the past two and a half years.’

Dr Zoe encouraged her following to keep up with her surgery journey through social media posts, where she planned to detail her ‘preparation and recovery’.

She continued: ‘It hasn’t been an easy journey or an easy decision, but I know that so many people out their face the same dilemmas and that’s why I’m hoping that my sharing will give some insight, and improve your ability to make informed decisions regarding your own back problems.

‘I must caveat out that every person is different. Every spinal problem is different and every type of surgery is different so please do not extrapolate my scenario directly to yours and take everything with a pinch of salt.

‘I’m so lucky and privileged to be able to do this privately and make all the choices that come with that! Let’s keep chatting along the way.’

In 2024, Dr Zoe revealed the terrifying health scare that left her writing an emergency will from her hospital bed after suffering a ‘year of blips’.

She was rushed to hospital with an abnormal heart rhythm.

Sharing a photo from the hospital to Instagram, she wrote: ‘I got signed off by my cardiologist today… I’m OK. But I wasn’t certain that I would be for a while!

‘It’s been a year of health blips. The most worrying being my heart. But I’m OK.

‘Writing an emergency will from your hospital bed, just in case, is not the one though. But I’m OK.

‘It’s interesting how we can be thankful for these experiences. They can make us see clearly. What matters. What doesn’t. And just how easy it is to take our health for granted.’
