“Obviously, you know, it’s looking a bit gory down there but I can’t wait to tell you what they did.”

Tracy then took a moment to thank the staff involved in her operation, adding: “I just want to take a moment to thank every single person that worked in the hospital yesterday, every single person.

“The surgeons were amazing, I ended up having three surgeons and all the nurses, all the staff, everybody.

“And I had the best cup of tea and slice of toast when I came around out of theatre. […] So have a wonderful Saturday!”

Tracy penned alongside the video: “Happy Saturday. Feeling bless. Grateful Joy.”

Tracy shared back in April that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, leaving soap fans shocked.

Ever since the star has been documenting the ups and downs of her health battle online.

She has shared tears, admitting she “can’t go through this” anymore, as well as her grateful moments.

Tracy played the role of Maxine Peacock on Coronation Street from 1995 up until 2003.
