Former Coronation Street star Millie Gibson is set to undergo emergency surgery following a sudden visit to the hospital with severe stomach pain. The 21-year-old actress, known for her role as Kelly Neelan on the soap opera, shared her experience on Instagram Stories, advising followers to pay attention to their bodies.

Millie revealed that she sought medical help after experiencing unusual stomach pain, which was later diagnosed as appendicitis. Urgent surgery was organized to address the condition. She emphasized the importance of listening to one’s body, expressing gratitude for the timely advice that prevented a potentially dangerous situation.

Appendicitis, characterized by inflammation of the appendix, typically manifests as pain in the lower right abdomen and necessitates prompt medical intervention. Symptoms usually begin with abdominal pain near the belly button before shifting to the lower right side and intensifying. Following the operation, Millie is expected to recover at home within a couple of days, barring any complications.

Having started her acting career on Coronation Street at the age of 14, Millie has since appeared on Doctor Who and more recently, The Forsytes. Her role in the remake of John Galsworthy’s Forsyte Saga came at a crucial moment after her departure from Doctor Who. She expressed immense gratitude for the opportunity and the positive experience working on the show.

Addressing rumors of her alleged dismissal from Doctor Who due to diva behavior, Millie clarified that she was actually cast for the next series. She refrained from responding to the rumors to avoid spoilers, despite the personal impact of the false claims. The actress highlighted the challenges of defending herself without compromising the show’s narrative integrity.
