Popular radio presenter, aged 41, rushed to hospital with 'sizeable' bleed on her brain and two aneurysms

Lynne Hoggan, a Scottish broadcaster known for her work on Clyde 1, Forth 1, Tay FM, North Sound, and MFR, fell ill and was rushed to hospital. Doctors there discovered she had a "sizeable" brain bleed and two aneurysms.

Lynne's sister-in-law wrote a post on Hoggan’s Instagram, on her behalf, to confirm the health update to her 11,500 followers on Monday (April 14). The star underwent urgent surgery and has had stents put in, but relatives say the star still has a "long way to go" in hospital while she continues her recovery.

Writing on Lynne’s Instagram page, her sister-in-law Rachel Hoggan wrote: "A little life update- from Lynne's sister in law, Rachel (as instructed by Lynne herself.)" She went on to provide the information about Hoggan’s hospitalisation and health diagnosis. She said: "I appreciate a lot of you have been messaging Lynne and wondering where she has been lately. Unfortunately, a week ago she took unwell and it turned out to be a sizeable bleed on the brain which was two aneurysms."

Rachel concluded: “She has now had surgery and stents put in her brain and is recovering in the best care possible." In a subsequent post, she added: "Lynne still has a long way to go and will be in hospital for a while and is unable to communicate properly at the moment whilst she is recovering. She appreciates all the love and support and will be in touch with all the individuals that have reached out to her once she is better.”

Lynne, aged 41, received many messages of support on Instagram, including one from her former Pure Radio colleague DJ Robin Galloway. He wrote: "Shocked to hear this news. Radio and life needs Lynne Hoggan on it and in it. Praying for a full and speedy recovery. A special talent and cherished friend."
