Celebs Go Dating's Professor Green bowel 'poking out' as hernia returns
Celebs Go Dating 2026 cast member Professor Green is dealing with the return of his hernia after almost 10 years.
Celebs Go Dating star Professor Green's bowel hernia is back after nine years.
The 42-year-old rapper - real name Stephen Manderson - showed off his bowel "poking out" of his skin underneath a scar from a previous operation for the same problem in a shot posted on Instagram on Saturday (09.05.26).
Professor Green - who nicknamed his hernia "Henry" - said "here we go again", as he deals with yet another health issue.
The artist captioned the post: "Violins everywhere, tiny ones.
"Life’s been a lot lately… I’ve learned I’m not totally free from historic patterns, and in almost the same breath learned I catch things well before I ever did previously, and am (on good days) able to observe my thoughts spiralling without spiralling with them.
"This hernia recurrence happened yesterday and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a weight I could do without given everything else health wise thats going on… out of my control though.
"It's the only time any of us have here and we do, if we take responsibility, have the choice to embrace whatever our experience may be. Working on doing just that, and feeling my way through things best I can… (sic)"
Professor Green plans to release a new track during 43-year-old rapper Example's UK tour: "I’m playing the next single tonight, tomorrow, all through the Example tour and at every show till it drops."
In 2017, Professor Green had a hernia removed, but it resulted in him suffering an extremely rare allergic reaction to the surgical mesh used to repair the issue.
It caused a series of issues, including a partially collapsed lung, pneumonia and severe abdominal swelling.
Professor Green's latest hernia came almost a week after he revealed on Instagram that he has a tumour behind his eye and three along his spine.
It came after "four relatively superficial but painful growths were removed from my head and neck".
One of the growths is the "size of a blemmin’ lime" around his S2 nerve - responsible for muscle movement in the lower body.
Professor Green said waiting to find out whether the tumours were "benign or malignant" and " living out worst case scenarios" in his head was worse than enduring the physical symptoms.
