The Saturdays singer thanked fans for “checking in” before opening up on the late-night incident which saw her collapse at her house.

“It was a huge shock and I ended up being rushed to A&E”.

“A huge thank you to Amy and Hannah at St George’s Hospital who were absolutely incredible, stitching me up so well, and even managed to see past the Looney Tunes pyjama top I arrived in (must buy new pyjamas!)”.

Mollie, who presents her radio show with close pal Matt Edmondson, added: “It’s been a real wake-up call that I need to make some time to get my strength back, not just for my own health, but so I can be the best version of myself for my family too”.

Mollie told how she had embarked on “social” activities for the first time on Sunday, uploading a snap showing her covered up in a black leather jacket and white hat.

Mollie gushed how the kindness of her fans had “meant so much” and confirmed she would be back presenting today.

Warnings over the popstar’s health have been raised in recent months.

In March, she pulled out of a TV appearance after medics advised her to “rest”.

She was set to appear on Sunday Brunch alongside comedian and radio co-star Matt to promote their new podcast, Novel Idea.

However on 5 Live she noted she had hurt her neck, and later discovered it was worse than anticipated.

Posting on Instagram about her absence, she wrote: “Hi Guys. Some of you may have heard me on 5 Live yesterday where I mention I’d pulled my neck.

“I went to see the physio yesterday afternoon and they’ve advised I have to rest, so sadly I won’t be able to appear on Sunday Brunch this morning as planned. I’m absolutely gutted.”

“The lovely Sunday Brunch team have said they’ll have Matt Edmondson and me back on in the coming weeks so we can chat about @novelideapod then, which I’m really grateful for,” she added.

“I’ll be watching from bed this morning instead! M x”

In August 2025, she was also noticeably absent from the airwaves.

She told how she had taken time off following “an operation” the previous month, yet did not disclose what this was.
