‘Thanks to the angels:’ Sarah Millican reveals trip to A&E

Sarah Millican has revealed she underwent an operation to remove her appendix as she thanked the NHS medical team who looked after her.

The comedian, 51, said she was under a “fog of morphine and codeine” after the procedure as she shared a photo of her husband Gary Delaney taking her out of hospital.

Millican 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.

“A few names I’ve remembered in the fog of morphine and codeine (but everyone was amazing).”

Millican listed several members of staff at the hospital and added: “You’re all glorious and I’m so grateful. I’ve never been so congratulated on doing a poo in my life.

“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.”

Millican and Delaney married in 2013 after dating for seven years.

The comedian was married to her first husband, Andrew Millican, from 1997 to 2004.
