Owain Wyn Evans has revealed he was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery this week and will be “off work” for some time whilst he recovers.

Alongside a photo of himself in a hospital bed, Owain told his followers he was forced to undergo emergency surgery after being affected by a “dodgy” issue.
Owain Wyn Evans admitted for emergency surgery
This week (October 14), Owain, who has his own show on BBC Radio 2, took to Instagram and revealed that he recently had emergency gallbladder surgery.
He also uploaded a photo of himself in his hospital gown in bed on the ward, and another snap of him recovering at home with his rescue cat Franny by his side.
Owain wrote in the caption: “Our NHS is amazing. Turns out I had some dodgy polyps in the old gallbladder, so out it came. All fine now. I can’t thank the incredible staff at West Ward 6 and surgical team at Llandough Hospital enough.”

Owain reveals he’s ‘off work for a bit’
Owain went on to reveal he will be taking a break from work to recover at home. And will be cared for by his husband Arran Rees.
He explained: “I’m off work for a bit recovering – being cared for by Nurse Franny and Dr Arran (who despite not being a medical doctor is doing a good job).
“We’re lucky to have the NHS. It’s helped my family so much over the years with ongoing cancer care for my father and MS for my mother, as well as quite literally saving Arran’s life when he was a child. Thank goodness we have it xx.”
Sending you love for a speedy recovery.
What’s more, Owain’s fellow showbiz pals flooded the comments section with well wishes.
Fellow Radio 2 star Sara Cox also said: “Only you could rock a hospital gown off one shoulder. Symmetrical is huge this autumn. Sending you love for a speedy recovery.”
Zoe Ball, who used to host on Radio 2, also said: “Heal well, darling chap.” Meanwhile, Magic Radio’s Gaby Roslin commented: “Sending huge love and get well soon lovely.”
