Katie Dadzie underwent emergency surgery after suffering a ruptured cervix. The lingerie business owner, 35, who is married to DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles, was rushed to hospital after experiencing "crippling pain" following her hysterectomy. She underwent the procedure to remove her womb in July this year after enduring years of pain caused by PCOS and endometriosis. But 12 weeks after her surgery, Katie ran into unexpected complications and ended up in A&E over the weekend.

In a video posted on Instagram, Katie explained that the area where her cervix had been sealed ruptured, leading to intense abdominal pain and internal bleeding. In what she described as "the most terrifying day I've ever had", Katie underwent surgery to stitch her back together. Katie admitted that she was "sore and exhausted", adding she was "gutted" at having to restart her recovery.

In the lengthy caption, Katie penned: "The bit where they took my cervix and sealed it up ruptured which basically meant my insides went rogue, with crippling abdominal pains, difficulty breathing, incredibly painful gas, blood like Moses parting the Red Sea, fluid, and even my bowel where it definitely didn't belong.

"Saturday when it happened I was in so much pain I couldn't move or walk and just cried on my own on the kitchen from 2-5.30am. I nearly passed out from the pain."

The star continued: "Bar the exhaustion and menopause bit, the recovery was finally going well. I was pretty much back to normal - although I started working the day after my hysterectomy, so that clearly didn't help.

"I was rushed in for emergency surgery. I thought it would be lots of waiting round, but they did blood tests, a CT scan, and had me up & ready for surgery in under 10 hours.

"There was talk of my bowel having been perforated, having to have open surgery & another lumbar puncture. I had every situation running through my mind and it was terrifying. They had 3 plans for surgery, and two of them were huge. A team of 6 surgeons and 2 anaesthetists looked after me, and made me feel slightly more at ease, during what was the most painful & terrifying day I've ever had."

Katie added: "Thankfully the surgeons managed to get me back into theatre, fix everything and stitch me back together."

She concluded: "I'm very sore, bruised & exhausted, & so gutted that my recovery journey starts all over again now. But thankful it's fixed, because the pain on Saturday night was excruciating!"
