TV presenter Emma Willis said her "heart has got to learn how to refunction", after undergoing keyhole surgery.
Willis had the procedure after discovering she had a hole in her heart earlier this year.
Appearing on Heart Breakfast on Thursday, she told hosts Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden the situation had been "pretty scary".
She said: "I found out in January and by March I was in on the table and having a little device fitted into my heart to fill a hole that I never knew existed.
"I've had it my whole life and just had no idea."
The former Big Brother presenter said she had always experienced heart palpitations, but thought they were simply down to stress.

"For the past couple of years, I've been having them more and more, and they got to a point where it was quite a lot," she said.
Since the surgery, which saw the hole plugged, she said the palpitations have reduced in frequency.
But she added: "I might have them forever. My heart has got to kind of learn how to refunction hole-free."
Meanwhile, Willis, who has three children with Busted bassist Matt Willis, refused to say when questioned about which she thought was the better band out of Busted or McFly.
The two acts are due to take part in the Busted vs McFly Tour together later this year.
"The proof will be in the pudding," Willis said.

"They've got a lot of dates to show who is the better band. I like to boogie to both of them."

Lewis Capaldi supported by celebrity friends after emotional Glastonbury return
Lewis Capaldi's emotional surprise return to Glastonbury saw the Scottish singer receive an influx of support from the celebrity world two years on from his last performance An emotional Lewis Capaldi was supported by a wave of celebrity friends as he made a surprise return to Glastonbury. The Scottish singer returned to Worthy Farm two years after he last performed at the festival. The Someone You Loved singer struggled to finish his set last timeout, with his voice faltering in a touching message to the crowd. At the time, he told them: "Glastonbury, I'm really sorry. I'm a bit annoyed with myself." The crowd soon took over the vocals of Someone You Loved. "I feel like I'll be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks. So you probably won't see much of me for the rest of the year, maybe even. But when I do come back and when I do see you, I hope you're still up for watching us." And today, after telling the crowd "second time's a charm," Lewis was able to complete the song two years on. Following his emotional set, Lewis took to Instagram to share a clip of the two performances merged together. In the touching clip, it showed the struggle of 2023 before a teary-eyed Lewis looked on after taking to the stage again today. He captioned his upload: "Glastonbury it's so incredible to be back, thank you so much for having me x" And his video was immediately met with a wave of support. Among those sharing a message with the star was former footballer Alan Shearer, who simply said: "Love it," alongside clapping hands emojis. McFly's Danny Jones also said: "Epic maaaaaate so good to see you back," while Sam Fender labelled it the "return of the king". Paddy McGuinness was also on hand to compliment his efforts, calling him the governor, while ex-Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall responded with a love heart emoji. Lewis was also supported backstage after his gig. Matty Healy was seen recording a message for some fans backstage to send his support to the Scottish star. A source attending Glastonbury told the Mirror: 'I heard him say 'really pleased he is here and I wish him well" Lewis' return comes hours after he released a new song called Survive. As he shared a post on Instagram announcing the new tune, he captioned it: "It's been a while." The new song is full of emotion with lyrics including lines such as "I swear to God I'll survive" and "I'm going to get up and live until the day that I die." It marks his first new release since stepping out of the spotlight because of his mental health. And as he performed it to the Glastonbury crowd he cried as he began to sing. He revealed that his one goal was to get back on stage at Glastonbury as he paid tribute to the fans. At the end of the song, he struggled to get through the track, with the emotion clearly a lot for him as he sang those final words with passion.

Skye Wheatley makes shock confession about her sexuality: 'I could have gone down that path'
Skye Wheatley made a surprising admission about her sexuality on Thursday during the latest episode of her Nova FM podcast Skye & Callum. The influencer, 31, shares sons Forest, five, and Bear, three, with her current long-time partner of eight years Lachlan Waugh. But the former Big Brother star has now confessed she may be 'pansexual' and would have explored that side of herself more if she never started dating Lachlan. Co-host Callum Hole kicked off the conversation by saying: 'So obviously, you've been with Lachie for a while.' 'Yes, eight years, going strong,' she told the former Love Island star, revealing they had their first child together just four months after they started dating. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Eight years, when you were 25. But I did hear something that if you had more time, then you might have explored your sexuality a little bit more?' he asked. Skye agreed, revealing she learned about pansexuality while watching the Stan reality TV show Love Triangle. 'I didn't know what pansexuality was until watching this show,' she said. 'But basically you are attracted to the person's personality, not what sex they are… you could be attracted to anyone, but you're attracted to their personality.' Callum, 27, clarified: 'So pansexual is basically, you're trying to say, you're not attracted to their sex, you're just attracted to their personality?' 'Yes, their personality and, like, who they are as a person and stuff,' Skye said, before revealing that is how she views her own attraction to people. 'And I'm like, oh yeah, totally. I think that I could go down that path because I definitely see people's personalities before their looks or their sex. 'So I feel like I could maybe explore that, or I could have, not now obviously, but I could have maybe gone down that path.' 'I find it really interesting, because I'm like, yeah, totally... I definitely connect with people's personalities,' she added. The confession comes after Skye and Lachlan, 34, caused confusion in November 2024 when they shared loved-up photos just days after announcing their split. The pair looked very cosy in pictures shared to Instagram, which appeared to be taken during a night out. She wrote cryptically in her caption: 'Can't say we didn't live life.' Skye stunned in the photos as she showed off the results of her recent eye lift surgery while Lachlan kissed her on the cheek. Further photos showed the influencer couple embracing as if nothing was amiss in their romance. The stunner drank a cocktail and posed up a storm, clearly relaxed and back in love with Lachlan despite their recent domestic issues. Just days earlier, Skye confirmed she had separated from her partner. The Gold Coast-based mum-of-two explained the reason Lachlan had not appeared in her recent Q&A videos was because they decided to take time apart. 'Honestly not much to report. We just have a lil re-set break from time to time, it's good,' she told her fans. The former reality star has previously spoken at length about the couple's struggles and admitted they have recently been going to counselling. She said 2024 was all about achieving goals, a journey which included addressing the challenges in her relationship with Lachlan. 'Lachy and I went to a counselling session yesterday,' Skye said. The session, initially intended as occupational therapy for their son Forest, turned into a much-needed intervention for the couple. Skye's realised their son's behaviour could be influenced by their relationship dynamics and it prompted her to take action.
