The Traitors<\/a> star Charlotte Chilton has revealed she is to undergo an operation after a worrying health update. Charlotte, who appeared on series two of the BBC<\/a> show, told fans that she will need to undergo an operation to manage her trigeminal neuralgia. The 32 year old shared a post on Sunday in her hospital gown explaining how she was left in “physical torture” due to her symptoms.<\/p>\n

Trigeminal neuralgia is sudden, severe facial pain. It\u2019s often described as a sharp shooting pain or like having an electric shock in the jaw, teeth or gums, according to the NHS.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have unfortunately found myself back in hospital with a terrible attack and this has resulted in me needing another neuro surgery to control it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving surgery on your brain is always daunting, however this has long term relief and allows me to get on with my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a scary few days for the star, as she revealed: \u201cAfter being rushed into A&E with a huge attack, I have been taken care of by the amazing Neuro team at QE hospital and today I have an operation to relieve me off my physical torture.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor my TN followers keep fighting to find the right team to support you.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey call this the suicide disease for a reason.”<\/p>\n

She concluded: \u201cI\u2019m so grateful for my family and friends who have supported me through this hellish week! Wish me luck and see you on the other side!!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton has revealed she is to undergo an operation after a worrying health update.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185987,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[117263,117262,6279,156,111,139,69,6290,72404,37969],"class_list":["post-185986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-brain-surgery","tag-charlotte-chilton","tag-chronic-pain","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-surgery","tag-the-traitors","tag-trigeminal-neuralgia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185986\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
