Heartstopper star Bel Priestley shares inspiring update after voice feminisation surgery

Heartstopper star Bel Priestley has given an update two months after undergoing voice feminisation surgery, saying she feels like a “new confident woman”.

The actor and TikTok star underwent the surgery, which changes the length, tightness or size of the vocal cords and can make the voice sound higher, in November.

In an earlier update, Bel Priestley revealed that the first week after surgery was “the hardest of my life”, and she wasn’t able to “sneeze, cough or speak for seven days.”

On Sunday (19 January), Priestley shared a further update, saying she had a “long recovery” ahead but was “so happy” with the results.

“I kind of for the first time feel like a woman,” she said in a video on Instagram. “I feel like this new confident woman.”
