Scottish radio DJ Lynne Hoggan has been rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery after two aneurysms.
Lynne Hoggan, best known for her shows on Clyde 1, Forth 1, Tay FM, Northsound 1 and MFR, has been left ‘unable to communicate properly’ after emergency surgery.
A statement on her Instagram from her family members read: ‘Lynne still has a long way to go and will be in hospital for a while and is unable to communicate properly at the moment whilst she is recovering.
‘She appreciates all the love and support and will be in touch with all the individuals who have reached out to her once she is better.
‘If anyone needs anything or wants me to pass anything on to Lynne, please just get in touch.’
A second update added: ‘A little life update- from Lynne’s sister-in-law Rachel (as instructed by Lynne herself).
‘Appreciate a lot of you have been messaging Lynne and wondering where she has been lately.
‘Unfortunately, a week ago, she took unwell and it turned out to be a sizeable bleed on the brain which was 2 aneurysms.
‘She has now had surgery and stents put in her brain and is recovering in the best care possible.’
What is a brain aneurysm?
An aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel caused by a weakness in the blood vessel wall, usually where it branches, says the NHS website.
As blood passes through the weakened blood vessel, the blood pressure causes a small area to bulge outwards like a balloon.
Aneurysms can develop in any blood vessel in the body, but the 2 most common places are: the brain, and the artery that transports blood away from the heart to the rest of the body (the abdominal aorta).
Fans have rushed to support the star and her two sons on social media.
‘Shocked to hear this news. (Thank you for updating Rachel.) Radio and life needs Lynne Hogan on it and in it. Praying for a full and speedy recovery. A special talent and cherished friend,💙’ said djrobingalloway
