RHIAN Sugden has revealed she's in hospital as she took to social media with a snap from her bed in a ward.
The model went make-up free as she posed for a selfie in a hospital gown as she headed for an urgent surgery.
Glamour girl Rhian, 36, struck a pout towards the camera as she opened up about a worrying health scare.
The star took to her Instagram with the selfie, which saw her go completely make-up free, to explain she was due to have surgery on a "suspicious birthmark" on her leg.
Rhian - who is best known for her busty snaps - covered up under the hospital gown as she let her brunette locks flow around her.
But while she kept smiling, the star admitted she was "nervous" as she headed down to surgery.

"Holy Moley," Rhian penned to her fans. "My consultant has flagged up that a birthmark on my leg looks very suspicious.
"He has got me in today to have it cut out. It's quite big so I'm nervous. Need up to 12 stitches."
She went on to encourage her fans: "Always make sure you keep an eye on changing birthmarks and moles.
"If they look dodgy as hell, get them whipped off. It's better to be safe than sorry."

Her friends and fans flooded the comments section to wish her "good luck" with the surgery and "wish her better".
Rhian then took to her Instagram stories to reveal she was "patiently waiting" as she shared a snap of herself sitting in bed.
Last year, Rhian revealed that she was struggling with walking and in pain - for a very different reason.
The model admitted her boobs had brown so big that she was suffering from agonising backache.
She opened up about the painful reality of having a 34F chest, which causes her to have a "hunched over" posture.
Rhian told the MailOnline that the unbearable pain means she is tempted to go under the knife for a breast reduction.
"I have always been quite lucky because my mum is slinky so I've got good genes, but all my weight goes to my boobs," she explained.
"It isn't necessarily a bad thing but right now my boobs are so big that it's unbearable to walk.
"I want to go to the gym to sort my posture out because I am hunched over all the time. I would love a nice B or C cup."

Rhian also opened up about how she can't wear "nice outfits" because many tops and dresses don't accommodate her chest.
She admitted it meant she "was tempted" to get a breast reduction but was worried about the scarring it could leave her with.
