Radio 4 presenter Emma Barnett says she has had a hysterectomy following health problems linked to endometriosis. She announces this as she returns to presenting BBC Radio 4’s Today programme after several weeks away.
Barnett says she was taken to hospital shortly after she finished filming her BBC Two documentary, Fighting Endometriosis. The reports describe the move as part of her recovery period before returning to work. The outlets frame the news around her return to the programme, with attention on the timing of her hospital stay in relation to filming, rather than adding differing interpretations of the cause or details of her treatment.
