Tanya Bardsley, a star from Real Housewives of Cheshire, had to skip the NTAs due to health reasons. She was hospitalized for a hysterectomy, coincidentally scheduled on the same day as the National Television Awards. Tanya expressed her struggles with adenomyosis and fibroids, conditions that have caused her prolonged discomfort. She thanked her womb for giving her beautiful children but acknowledged it was time for it to be removed.
Sharing photos from her hospital bed, Tanya revealed her pain and a swollen belly. After seeking a specialist’s diagnosis following dismissals from doctors, she received an outpouring of support from fellow celebrities like Helen Flanagan and Jenny Powell.
Having sons with her husband Phil Bardsley and a daughter from a previous relationship, Tanya has been open about her health challenges, mentioning her significantly enlarged womb.
