Melissa Suffield has issued a health update after undergoing an 'unremarkable endoscopy' for her mystery illness and 'drastic' weight loss.

Melissa, who played Lucy Beale in the BBC soap of six years until 2010, explained she has now been referred to a specialist, who will run 'various tests.'
The actress added her son River, four, has also suffered with random bouts of vomiting since December.
In a post to her Instagram Story, she wrote: 'Went back to my GP today, to discuss the results of the unremarkable endoscopy.'

She continued: 'I've now had a gastro referral, which will be able to look at my gallbladder, liver, stomach again, the whole shebang, all the various tests and possible diagnosis.
'So if there's an issue there, they'll be best placed to find it. River also has a referral to paediatrics as he has had random bouts of vomiting with no clear cause, as well as on off diarrhoea since we both got sick in December. Whatever is still doing a number on me, is definitely still doing a (lesser) number on him too.
'The gastro waiting list is super long, so hoping I find some lasting relief in the meantime. Feeling positive about the TCM/ acupuncture route, coupled with the visceral therapy, and I'm also hoping to start hypnotherapy to bridge the gap until my talking therapies appointment date arrives.
'I'm pretty sure this is not all down to anxiety, but constantly thinking about it definitely isn't helping, and it's not at all like me. So let's sort it.
'Also had an ultrasound of my neck ordered, just to give the thyroid a once over and check there isn't any enlargement there etc. I think at this point he was just keen to get rid of me lol.
'Sent off a breath test for SIBO today, and I've got a food intolerance and allergy blood test to do at some point
