Telling her followers she felt “blessed,” the actress told everyone she was recovering well, as she held up a peace sign.
She had an aneurysm that has now been treated after being diagnosed late.
Martelle explained: “A few weeks ago I was told an existing brain aneurysm thought to always be tiny & 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 & refused to allow it manifest into fear, stress & anxiety.”
She continued: “Yesterday, I had surgery where Dr’s were able to amazingly & 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!
“This is me post surgery. Peace signs at the readyyy! I can’t tell you how happy & blessed I felt/feel right now! Massive, MASSIVE thank you to all the incredible @NHSuk Dr’s, nurses & support staff, you are Amazing! & I am TRULY grateful to you all.”
Martelle’s character Suzy was first introduced to viewers earlier in 2022 when she appeared out of nowhere and walked into the path of Vanessa’s reversing car.
Although their first encounter didn’t go well, both women eventually took a liking to each other.
Since then, Suzy was exposed for her cocaine use and her involvement in Holly Barton’s death.
Fans of the star on social media were over the moon to hear she was doing well after the surgery.
One wrote: “I’m delighted to hear everything went so well. Wishing you good health and lots of love.”
Another penned: “You are a superwoman. I am so happy you got treatment and your mindset is to be admired. Be more Martelle. Good luck in recovery. So happy to have worked with you. Get well soon.”
Martelle replied, confirming her return to the soap, as she wrote: “haha Thanks so much lovely, I go home today. Just got to get plenty of rest for a couple of weeks then I’ll be back at it.”
