Jennifer Ellison shared a health update with her fans as she underwent a medical procedure.
On Thursday, the former Brookside star shared a photo of what appeared to be a hospital operation on social media. The 38-year-old said she was taking "the biggest step in a very personal journey."
Captioning the post on Instagram, Jennifer said: "Since I had my first son Bobby 12 years ago I have suffered with extreme varicose veins in my legs, which look so ugly and sometimes cause extreme pain. Apparently its hereditary. Anyway they’ve gotten that bad that the next step for me would be a blood clot or ulcer."
