The panel show host had a panic button around her neck which she joked about in her caption.

The star wrote underneath her post: 'Day 6 and I've joined the call button wearing community! Trying to obey Annie's orders and put feet in right order. Computer scrabble is easier...'.

The latest update follows Janet's hospital bed selfie which she shared with her 45,000 followers.

Wearing a hospital gown and a breathing tube, Janet smiled to the camera with her trademark maroon hair and black glasses and seemed to be recovering well.

She captioned the post: 'Three hours after hip replacement-masses of strong pain relief resulted in huge smile of relief! Then the drugs wore off...but I'm walking with a trolley HOORAY XX'.

And a host of famous friends rushed to the comments to send their good wishes.

The health update comes after Janet revealed to viewers last week that she would be taking a break and admitted she was feeling nervous about the procedure but seems to be recovering well

Katie Piper wrote: 'So happy to see you smiling and walking already'.

While Martin Kemp wished Janet a speedy recovering, commenting: 'Get well soon Janet!!! Mx'.

Janet's Loose Women co-star Ruth Langsford said she was excited to see the journalist back on the show wit her.

She wrote: 'It’s done Janet! Good to see you smiling (even if it is the drugs!!) Missing you….get back to soon!'.

The broadcaster told viewers last week that she would be taking a break.

Just minutes into the episode host Christine Lampard told viewers that it was her colleague's 'last day for a little while'.

Janet told viewers and her fellow panellists Christine, Coleen Nolan and Katie Piper that she was very worried about going under the knife.

She said: 'I can't think about anything else. As I'm sitting here I'm shaking and my hands are freezing cold. I keep dreaming about it.

'I'm just going to go into hospital on Friday, have the operation on Friday afternoon, stay in hospital for a few days and then really, really work at rehab and physio so that I can come back as soon as possible.'

Her co-star Coleen admitted it was 'really sad' that Janet was going through a tough time with her health.

She said: 'You always put on this tough persona and nothing bothers you. And then at one point today you said, 'I'm really scared,' and I could have cried my eyes out.'
