Darren Scott admitted to hospital for another round of surgery

Johannesburg - Last week radio personality, Darren Scott confirmed that he would be undergoing another surgery after doctors were not happy with "pesky nodes" in his right lung.

In October, Darren underwent a 5-hour procedure to remove melanoma from his left lung. The cancerous cells were removed and Darren spent weeks in hospital recuperating.

But after a routine check-up last week, his medical team were now concerned about his right lung.

"Went for CT scan yesterday ... For 2 reasons: check on left lung that was operated on a few weeks ago, and check right lung for small node that was slightly enlarged. The good news, the left lung looks "pristine" after op according to doc! (He may have said "Christine" but I'll take "pristine" never had ANY part of my bod EVER called pristine!??). On the flipside, pesky node is still there on right lung, so will have to come out next week. So another journey, albeit a shorter one, through buckled ribs, pain when I laugh, smiling nurses & hospital food, for about a week! Send wine."

Updating fans on his Facebook page, Darren today posted an image of himself in a hospital bed simply saying: "Here goes: round number 2."

The news has been met with fans flooding his social media with messages of love and support.

While Darren was in hospital in October, he and his wife, Sarah-Kate announced that they would be separating. Both asked for privacy, but it seems to be an amicable split with both of them posting pictures of each other on their social media pages.
