Pussycat Dolls star Kimberley Wyatt reveals secret surgery as she shares harrowing snaps from hospital bed
PUSSYCAT Dolls star Kimberley Wyatt has revealed she had a hip replacement as she shared tearful videos from her hospital bed.
The singer, 44, shared a photo of herself on crutches with compression socks on after the operation.
Kimberley said prior to the procedure she was left limping around and could barely sleep because of the pain.
She wrote alongside a series of photos from her time hospital: “I had a moment tonight. I’m in Dublin, settling into another hotel room, and I’d taken in too much. Too much news. Too much of what’s happening to women. Too much casual cruelty online.
“Too much of the stuff people seem to get away with and a bit too much from my own little world too.”
She then shared a clip of her in hospital before undergoing an operation.

The pop star went on: “So I got in the bath and somewhere in there I realised I needed to give my brain something else to hold onto.
“Something good, Something I’m proud of. Which, weirdly took me straight to my hip. A few years ago I could barely walk. For nearly two years, I limped through every day and barely slept because of the pain.
“I remember watching my children playing on holiday and being in too much pain to walk over to them.
“I just stood there and I was scared.”
The star then posted a clip of her in tears while attached to drips from her hospital bed.
Kimberley was told that she would need a hip replacement and ended up ended up having to learn to walk again after the opertation.
She spoke about the photo of her on crutches with her son, who was then four, and said: “I look at that picture now and I don’t really see the surgery. I see the strength.”
Kimberley admitted she barely spoke about her hip at the time but said it felt “frightening”.
Looking at how far she’s come, the American star said: “And tonight I thought about where those legs are now.
“On a Pussycat Dolls tour, after four major surgeries, three caesareans, one hip replacement and somehow this body is still dancing.”
She captioned the post: “I haven’t spoken much about this part of my story.
“Tonight, I realised why I needed to.
“STILL DANCING. Beautiful Movements,” with a broken heart emoji.
Her Pussycat Dolls bandmate Nicole Scherzinger commented: “Thankyou for this.”
It comes after Nicole suffered a horrifying mishap just an hour before she was due to take to the stage with The Pussycat Dolls.
The band’s lead singer took to Instagram to showcase images of painful burns on her leg, leading one fan to claim: “God heal Nicole of any pain”.
Nicole, 48, is in the midst of the band’s jam-packed tour and shared how boiling water had spilled over her lower leg shortly before taking to the stage in Germany.
The Don’t Cha hitmaker uploaded an image showing her limb looking sore with red raw marks across her inner thigh from the knee down to her ankle.
In her caption she wrote: “Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set.
“But the show must go on.
“Thanks Dusseldorf for keeping me going. See you soon Amsterdam!”
