Holly’s lower tibia had to be completely reconstructed due to the tumours and it could take some time before she can walk again.
She told her followers: “I wanted to post this now as I’m ready to put 2023 behind me. A few months ago I found out I had two bone tumours in my left leg which had caused major destruction in my lower tibia.
“It was months of bed rest, tests and pain before I could have surgery. (I wasn’t in a good place so I decided to come off social media).
“Less than 2 weeks ago I had surgery at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham (where surgeons reconstructed my tibia with metal work and donor bone).
