Sharing a brief video in which she proudly shows the stoma bag attached to her stomach, Louise wrote: "HOW DO I DISCLOSE THIS SORT OF NEWS? It’s not exactly exciting like a big pregnancy or gender reveal announcement! Hey look I'm having a boy… Hey look I've got a stoma!

"So I guess I'll just stand here, proud in stature with my new friend Le bum bag that represents life. And hopefully a better one.

"Isn’t it bizarre that this little grey pouch is the price I pay for good health! I say good riddance to that nasty menacing colon! Please be kind."

"When you think about it, it’s a beautiful thing because it means less time in hospital, less time in pain, less time with a poison organ in your body! Now you are free, my girl. Now it’s time for YOU," added Zara.
