Jenny Powell displays her incredible abs in a bikini as she proudly shows off her scars four months after undergoing robotic hysterectomy
Jenny Powell displayed her incredible abs in a bikini as she proudly showed off her scars four months after having surgery.
The TV presenter, 56, underwent a robotic hysterectomy last year to manage extreme symptoms as a result of the menopause.
Jenny has been open about her health battle, and has often displayed her scars from the gruelling surgery as a way of raising awareness.
She looked sensational as she took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a collection of snaps from over the last week, including bikini pictures from a recent trip to Hotel Les Deux Tours in Marrakech.
Jenny wowed in a green and white tie-dye style triangle bikini, while in another mirror selfie she sported a multicoloured striped skimpy two-piece.
She captioned the snaps: ‘Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory last forever. Thank you Shane Falco for these words… I’m living them!

‘In the past week alone from hosting for amazing charities @athletic_minds_foundation @foundation92 @mftcharity to sharing my weekends as always on the radio @greatesthitsuk to rebooting @hotel_les_deux_tours.
‘The balance is key and the energy is real .. shine on my lovelies. We all have scars inside and out .. it’s the healing process that matters.’
In other snaps, Jenny looked radiant as she posed in a striking bright red summer maxi dress.
Just four months ago, Jenny underwent a hysterectomy and last month explained that the last two years have been the most difficult for her.
She told OK!: ‘Even though I tried to send out all these positive, smiley, “everything’s lovely” vibes, I was suffering.
‘I had terrible bleeding, really bad, to the point where I was changing four times a day and in a job like mine, that isn’t good.’
Jenny thinks that women’s health is ‘neglected’ and that the concept of ‘just getting used’ to struggling is something that frustrates her.
The Greatest Hits Radio host had been on a family holiday in her bikini last year when some paparazzi pictures of herself started doing the rounds in the media.

When she saw the images, Jenny noticed a ‘bump in [her] lower abdomen’ which caused concern and she underwent an MRI.
The scan revealed that her abdomen was as if she ‘was about 16 weeks pregnant’ with the amount of pressure it was under, and she felt compelled to share her story.
She added: ‘It was so big it was pressing on my intestines, on my bladder, on my kidneys.
‘It’s only looking back – now that it’s gone – that I think, “Wow.” And that’s why I put it all out there.’
In the images shared, Jenny posed in shorts as she gave a full view of the extent of her scars.
The images had been taken over the course of a four-week time span, and the scarring became more dramatic as the days went on.

She has reflected on her recovery and shared images of her scars healing but also shared a warning for other women to ‘take the healing process seriously’
Soon after undergoing the operation in early October, Jenny explained: ‘I’ve suffered for so long with all sorts of symptoms and tried all sorts, but yeah it’s time, so hence the hysterectomy.
‘Because I’m menopausal of course things are different it’s not like this is been brought on early.
‘But I’m just wondering if they’ll be any connection between it and my emotions. So it will be interesting. I’m just about to put my fancy gown on so come back later.’
Jenny previously revealed she was forced into hospital after severe menopause symptoms left her struggling to ‘get out of bed every day.’
