Davina McCall was quick to send a message to pal Fearne Cotton after it was revealed she too was to undergo surgery to remove tumours weeks after Davina's operation

Celebrities united to send messages of support to Fearne Cotton after it was revealed she was to undergo surgery to remove two tumours.

The podcast host and TV presenter, 43, told her followers she requires an operation removing two benign tumours from her jaw. The news comes just weeks after The Masked Singer judge Davina McCall went under the knife to remove a benign tumour in her brain.

Fearne told her Instagram followers: "I’ve got a benign tumour just in my jaw here, below my ear, another little tiny one above it. I’m very grateful they’re benign but they do need to come out because they’re on a nerve.

"So I’m gonna have that surgery, and then I’m gonna be resting to get better before Christmas. Not very good at resting, so wondering how that’s gonna go. But I’m feeling okay about it. I’m going into the operation feeling good and well." She also said her podcast, Happy Place, will carry on as normal."

In a touching moment, Davina was one of the first on hand to send a message of well wishes. In it, she made a sweet comment, writing: "Sending you so much healing and love can’t wait to give you a huge gentle cuddle."

In Fearne's caption of her announcement, she revealed she had already spoken to Davina following the discovery. She wrote: "It's obviously so weird that only a couple of months ago Davina told me about her tumour and then weeks later I was calling her having discovered mine. I'm not only lucky she's a bloody good mate but also a beacon of light and positivity when it comes to this stuff."

Other celebrities to share their concern included BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball, who penned: "oh darling girl. be brave as and know you'll be well looked after. all my love." Holly Willoughby also commented on the post, saying: "Oh my darling girl… sending you all the love and healing vibes … will be thinking of you."

Shortly before Fearne's reveal, Davina posted another heartfelt update on her own recovery The much-loved My Mum, Your Dad presenter, 57, bravely faced a six-hour surgery earlier this month to excise a 14mm growth. The tumour was unexpectedly discovered during a routine scan she had while speaking at a menopause event.

Davina confessed she had been 'very confused' for some time after awakening from the operation, causing concern to both her partner Michael Douglas, and the surgeon who carried out her intricate procedure. Davina shared: "Hi, I thought I'd do a little catch-up post, and I'm gonna out my surgeon. He is called Kevin O'Neill and he has been amazing. Obviously, trying to find somebody that knew about colloid cysts and stuff was quite a challenge, and Kevin is very experienced as a neurosurgeon, and he done another colloid cyst this year and he has been brilliant.

"He got the whole thing and I know I gave him and Michael a bit of a scare straight after the op because I was so confused, but I am doing so well now. I just wanted to thank him and all the team for taking such really really good care of me thank you. And, yeah I'm gonna take you and your Mrs out for an amazing dinner Kevin."
