Scottish singer and beloved broadcaster Michelle McManus, who first captured our hearts with her Pop Idol victory in 2003, is once again in the spotlight – this time with a cheeky twist. Recently, Michelle shared her experience of undergoing a varicose vein removal procedure, during which she had nine cannulas inserted into her leg. The singer humorously suggested that the photos from her operation might inspire her to start an OnlyFans account, catering to those who share an interest in varicose veins.
“I went in for the procedure on Monday morning. I got nine cannulas in my leg. Wait until you see the picture – I’m going to start an OnlyFans account for people of the varicose vein persuasion. Honestly, I’m onto something here."
Michelle's playful storytelling didn't end there. During her appearance on Ewen and Cat at Breakfast on STV Radio, she shared a charming anecdote about her young son. "My wee boy was like, ‘Mummy, I can play snakes and ladders on your leg,’" she recounted. This humorous moment marked the end of her journey with the troublesome vein, humorously bidding it farewell.
But the laughter didn't completely overshadow the discomfort. "I hobbled into my work, full of painkillers – it was amazing on Monday. It started to wear off on Tuesday and then by Wednesday I was like, ‘I can’t even get out my bed.’" Michelle shared candidly about the post-surgery experience, providing a relatable perspective on recovery.
