He said: "Just on update on Jenny, yes she has had an operation but it's been on the waiting list for two years and it came during BAFTA week. I'm totally gutted that she couldn't be by my side last night and she was as well. But she's doing well, and she's out this week."

The TV personality continued: "I’ve told her all the well wishes she has been having, and she wanted to say thank you. And I wanted to say thank you for caring!"

We're wishing her a speedy recovery!

While on the red carpet for the special Awards ceremony, in which Gogglebox won for Best Reality and Constructed Factual, he told HELLO! And other reporters: "Yeah, she's not very well. She’s had an operation. She’s doing well though. She was invited but [the appointment was in BAFTA week]. She's doing well. You can't turn down an NHS operation, can you?"
