Lucy, 49, previously said how docs discovered she had a large kidney stone and scheduled Lucy in for lithotripsy - an ultrasound treatment that breaks the hard mass down into small particles that the body can get rid of naturally.

The environmental reporter explained: "Spent mon night with excruciating pain in A&E - large kidney stone causing havoc.

"I’m a prodigious stone former apparently (at last found something to excel at).

And now Lucy has revealed she's somewhat on the mend and no longer experiencing severe pain.

When asked by a BBC fan if she was feeling better, the journalist replied: "Thank you. Very kind. Stone sill in situ.

"Just had second round of litho. Pain is fine now but obvs that can change quickly. Strange scenario!"

Throughout her ordeal Lucy has continuously joked about her kidney stone on social media.

In one post, she shared an image of writers over the age of 50 where they are depicted with white hair and wrinkles, laughing: "Me with kidney stones."

Lucy is best known to fans for being a reporter on The One Show, having joined in 2007.

She's also stood in as a guest anchor for the programme several times.

Lucy has been at the forefront of several nature protection campaigns during her career.

Besides coming up with sustainability advice for The Times, she also co-produced documentary The True Cost for Netflix.

The film looks at the effects of fast fashion on poorly paid workers in developing countries, and eventually, the environment.
