Fans have rushed to support BBC star Naga Munchetty after she shared a rare photo update since revealing her health battle. The BBC Breakfast presenter shared a selfie to social media, and fans have flooded the comments section with kind words for the star.
After revealing her health struggles last week, she took to social media to share a snap in the gym. She said: "It's not actually that warm out there this morning."
She added: "Did a short run anyway to get going. Feeling better for it and I'll be in your [ears] later @bbc5live 11am-1pm talking more about #adenomyosis and how to raise awareness and ensure better care and diagnosis for those who suffer with it."

Since her post, followers have written kind words for Naga, reports Birmingham Live. "Naga may I say that you are an inspiring person in so many ways to so many people, it's a pleasure to follow you," a fan told her. "Looking forward to listening to this on the way home tonight. Keep up the amazing work," agreed another.
"Excellent work!! I will be listening - great to see a public profile raising awareness of adenomyosis. So much work still needs to be done in the UK," a third typed. Naga addressed her crippling health battle last week.
She told BBC Radio 5 listeners: "Right now as I sit here talking to you, I am in pain. Constant, nagging pain." She then added: "Every so often the pain changes; it becomes a stabbing pain. A pain that takes my breath away and I can do nothing but sit with it for a minute or curl up to cope."
One in 10 women is thought to have adenomyosis, yet it can often go undiagnosed for years. The condition occurs when the womb lining (the endometrium) grows within the muscular wall of the womb too.
While it’s not life-threatening, it can carry excruciating symptoms such as extremely heavy and painful periods, a bloated belly and pain during sex or when going to the toilet to poo. Treatments to lessen the symptoms can include contraceptives but for some women, a hysterectomy is the only treatment.
