“They are pretty sure it is not in the lymph nodes, but they are going to take two out on Friday when I have the operation to make sure, so it’s quite a big operation I’m having, but I trust them completely.”
The star first shared the news that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer while on the Late Late Show in Ireland on February 6.
This weekend, Callard announced that she’d had “minor complications” that kept her in hospital overnight.
After the operation on Friday, Callard updated fans on social media and said: “Update again, I’m home.

“I was supposed to come home yesterday but they decided to keep me in overnight due to minor complications.
“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.”
Callard then went on to praise the staff at Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and showcased a bag made by the nan of nurse Josh, to keep the operation drain bottle in.
The 68-year-old had previously expressed how the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital staff have been supportive throughout her journey.
“I have to tell you it’s the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, all NHS obviously, and they are truly amazing.
“They spent ages with me and every other patient as well.”
