A Gogglebox star was rushed into hospital this week to undergo emergency surgery in Melbourne after she was diagnosed with cancer.
Anastasia Katselas revealed the harrowing news on Friday in a video she shared to Instagram following an emergency hysterectomy.
The TV personality said doctors discovered cancer in her uterus just over a week ago when she went in ‘for a concern’ and they performed a pap smear.
‘It was a big scare, but thank God they caught it early and I am fine,’ she said on social media.
‘But I urge all you women, make sure that you do your pap smears regularly, don’t wait, don’t forget about it.
‘I used to do them regularly and I can’t remember the last time I went.’

‘I happened to go to the doctor, because I had a concern, and they did a pap smear and lo and behold a week later I am in hospital,’ she added.
‘They said they caught it early, but I am still waiting for the after surgery tests, and hopefully, the doctor said it did not spread, so hopefully I will be okay.’
Anastasia said she was admitted to hospital on Tuesday and returned home on Thursday.
She assured fans she is ‘just a bit sore, recovering well’, before thanking Cabrini Health, Dr Tom Manolitsis, and All Medical in Wantirna for looking after her.
‘Recovering after surgery. I’m. Fine. Very lucky,’ she wrote in the caption of the video.
