CORONATION Street actress Beverley Callard has given a brave update amid her breast cancer battle, admitting “minor complications” saw her kept in hospital.

The Liz McDonald star – loved by many ITV soap fans – admitted she’d “had a bit of a cry” after her “big operation” on Friday.

The TV icon, 68, revealed she had breast cancer on Ireland‘s RTE Late Late Show recently.

And earlier this week, Beverley told fans that she was having her lymph nodes removed as a precaution to make sure the cancer hadn’t spread.

Following the surgery, she took to her Instagram grid for a video detailing her post operation recovery.

She wore a dark T-Shirt and black and white leopard print leggings, with her blonde hair in an up-do.

She perched on a cream sofa pushed up against an exposed brick wall and spoke directly to her followers in the clip.

The Corrie favourite said: “Update again, I’m home.

“I was supposed to come home yesterday but they decided to keep me in overnight, minor complications.

‘So I have been home a couple of hours.

“I looked very pale.

“The nurses were calling me pale and passionate, I don’t know about passionate but I am very pale.

“I’m feeling OK, I had a bit of a cry as you do, but I’m OK.

“Emotions are all over the place, anyway I won’t rant on about that”.

Bev then went on to praise the staff at Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and showcase a bag made by the nan of nurse Josh, to keep the operation drain bottle in.

She then vowed to keep her followers in the loop with her recovery.

One Instagram user was quick to write: “You are an absolute darling for keeping us updated. Bless your brave heart xxx”

Another posted: “Sending lots of love. We are all cheering you on… one day at a time.”

A third put: “You are amazing Bev. Sending you lots of love and a speedy recovery xx”

Another mused: “So happy to see you! Didn’t expect that already!

“That bag for the drainage is such a brilliant idea! I never thought of that for my mum!!!!!”

She previously told how she was remaining “positive and strong” about her diagnosis.

Yet she then shared an emotional update where she disclosed how she was forcing herself to eat.

The soap star was given the shock cancer news last month, just 20 minutes before starting her new job on Irish soap opera Fair City.

Beverley – who starred on I’m A Celebrity in 2020 – returned to the UK to undergo the operation to test her lymph nodes for cancer.

The actress has also told fans she is set to undergo radiotherapy.

Beverley has given fans a “tough” update on her battle with cancer as she thanked them for their support.

Opening up to fans, Bev said: ” I just want to give you a breast cancer update… I’m feeling quite vulnerable and scared now but when I was 32 I beat cervical cancer. I had a hysterectomy and I was absolutely fine afterwards and so I know I can beat this.

“I am scared now vanity wise. I’m scared what I will look like. I’m scared about hair loss or whatever things like that.

“I’ve lost a bit too much weight now but I think it’s just stress. I’m still eating but I have to force myself to eat, just you know because your body is so tense.”

She confessed she should’ve stayed at work a bit longer because she’s got lines to learn and she’s very busy which she appreciates as it allows her to block out the noise of her shock diagnosis.

Bev shot to fame after she appeared on the long-running ITV soap Coronation Street back in 1989.
