Linda Robson, 68, says she suffered a serious health scare earlier this year that left her fearing she would die. According to multiple reports, she developed acute pancreatitis and then underwent major surgery involving her pancreas. Robson has described the experience as frightening, saying she thought she was going to die. She spent about 10 days in intensive care as doctors worked to save her, with outlets describing her as being “petrified” during the ordeal. The accounts also report that she required time in intensive care following the operation and that her recovery involved ongoing medical attention. While the specific medical details beyond pancreatitis and pancreatic surgery are not consistent across the summaries, all sources agree that the episode was severe, required intensive care, and led Robson to believe her condition was life-threatening. She later shared her account publicly, describing the impact of the illness and surgery and the effort by medical staff to stabilise her.
