Author Sophie Kinsella spoke about how she was left unable to hold a pen after undergoing a gruelling eight-hour surgery to remove a brain tumour.
The Confessions of a Shopaholic author spoke with Lorraine Kelly back in October 2024, after going public with her diagnosis.
She said: “I lay in hospital and I couldn’t think straight, I couldn’t walk, and I couldn’t hold a pen.
“I practiced signing Sophie Kinsella and it was an absolute mess.
“I got my phone and put it on dictate function and said what happened so I could remember it.
Kinsella’s death was announced by her family on Wednesday (10 December). She was 55.
