Comedian Sarah Millican shares photos from A&E after being rushed to hospital for emergency surgery

Sarah Millican has undergone emergency surgery after being rushed to hospital.

The comedian, 51, updated fans by sharing a photo of herself in a wheelchair soundtracked to the Casualty theme music. 

Her husband, fellow comic Gary Delaney was seen behind as he pushed Sarah along the hospital corridor.

Captioning the post, Sarah thanked the staff at Wythenshawe hospital in Manchester for diagnosing her and 'whipping out a particularly gnarly appendix.'

She wrote: 'An appreciation post for the absolute geniuses and angels who've just looked after me in A&E and on ward A6 @manchestershospitals at Wythenshawe hospital.

'From working out what was wrong to whipping out a particularly gnarly appendix (so retro!) to looking after me so expertly.'

'Every single person I came into contact with was kind and smiling and helpful. No notes.'

She then went on to name as many people she could remember through the 'fog of morphine and codeine' before adding: 'You're all glorious and I'm so grateful. I've never been so congratulated on doing a poo in my life.'

Explaining the photo she continued: 'First photo is @garydelaneycomedian taking me home. It looks like we're escaping. We had permission. I promise. I love this photo.

'Second photo is of the Meet our team wall display of every single angel. Massive hugs also to my husband, sister and best friend who I could not do without.'

Sarah's post was flooded with sweet comments from her pals, as Claudia Winkleman posted a string of heart emojis and Alan Carr commented: 'Awww get well soon.' 

Sarah wrapped up her international Late Bloomer tour earlier this year and has been busy working on her podcast, Standard Issue, and preparing for more live dates in 2027.

On her popular Instagram page this week she also threw her support behind fellow comic Lucy Beaumont, who has revealed herself as a whistleblower in the David Walliams investigation.

Sarah has reposted Lucy's Instagram post calling for an urgent review of the age of consent, signposting the group Close The Consent Group which is fighting to close the consent gap that legally allows adults to have sex with 16 and 17-year-olds. 

Lucy's fans have thrown their weight behind her after she revealed fears that she would never work again after speaking out about Walliams.

By way of support, Lucy's supportive fanbase have sold out her book online and begun snapping up tickets for her comedy tour.

Walliams was unmasked on Tuesday as the celebrity who fought for a court order to suppress allegations that he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl and preyed on multiple teenage girls while 'abusing his status' to exploit teens.

During a programme about the case, Lucy revealed that she has privately been 'doing everything she can' to support one of his alleged victims.

But despite wanting to support victims of sexual assault, Lucy she 'doesn't 'think I'll work in telly again' after coming forward as a whistleblower.

A three-year joint investigation by ITV News and The Guardian revealed a series of allegations dating back to 2003, with some accusers being as young as 15. Walliams denies all the allegations.

Appearing on Sky News, Lucy revealed she went to The Guardian with information about Walliams. She said: 'The reason I'm speaking out about this, when I know everyone I know knows this, and I don't hear anybody talking about it.

'And honestly, I don't think I'll work in telly again. I honestly don't.'

However, Lucy needn't have worried, as she has received the full backing of her fans who have reassured her they will support her work.

Her book, Drinking Custard: Diary Of A Confused Mum, is currently sold out on Amazon in both hardback (£18.99) and paperback (£12.99).
