Emmerdale: Martelle Edinborough has brain surgery

Martelle Edinborough announced that  she was undergoing surgery after having a brain aneurysm last month (Wednesday April 19, 2023).

The Suzy Merton actress revealed that a mistake was made and had now been corrected. This meant that her aneurysm was big enough to require surgery.

Martelle announced on Twitter: “A few weeks ago I was told an existing brain aneurysm thought to always be tiny and stable had in fact always been of a size that needed treatment.

“Not sure where the error occurred for it to take so long to highlight this but despite the initial shock, I could only receive it as a blessing and refused to allow it to manifest into fear, stress and anxiety.”

She then added: “I had surgery where doctors were able to amazingly and successfully treat the aneurysm, placing a flow diverter in the artery to cut the off the blood supply to it, soon enabling it disappear for good!”
