Gogglebox's Jenny Newby has returned to social media after not being seen by fans for some weeks.
The star, who shares her thoughts and feelings about the week's best TV alongside best friend Lee Riley, underwent a "mini" operation earlier this month. She has been missing from the Channel 4 show since while she recuperates.
The popular Channel 4 programme picked up the prize for Best Reality and Constructed Factual show at the BAFTAs on May 8. Lee attended the glitzy bash to pick up the award on behalf of the Gogglebox cast.

The following day, Lee issued an update to the pair's many Instagram followers, saying: "She has had an operation but it's been on the waiting list for two years, and it came BAFTA week. I was totally gutted she couldn't be by my side last night, and she was as well. But she's doing well and she's out this week".
On Thursday, Lee and Jenny were reunited - and they had a message for their fans ahead of Gogglebox series 20, which will air in September.
Lee said: "You'll never guess who I've just bumped into, she's out of hospital" before spinning the camera round to show a waving Jenny. Jenny said: "I just want to thank you all for your kind, get well wishes.
"They really cheered me up. And I'm looking forward to seeing you all in series 20". Lee added: "September guys. We'll be back in September".
Fans were clearly thrilled to see Jenny on the mend - but were less happy that they now have to wait months to see the two back on Gogglebox.
Taking to the comments section, Colleen Thompson said: "Nooooo not until September. Best thing on tele".
Siobhan said: "So happy to see Jenny looking so well but absolutely gutted. September is ages away!" Yvonne Woolley said: "Will miss you 2 have great summer" [sic]
Gogglebox airs Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4 and All 4
