Coronation Street star Sair Khan’s boyfriend in hospital for operation after surgery was cancelled ‘with 10 mins to go’
CORONATION Street star Sair Khan’s boyfriend Nathan Chilton has undergone an operation to remove a benign bone tumour in his pelvis.
The brave chiropractor has been documenting his condition on YouTube and Instagram, with his latest videos showing him post-surgery after undergoing physiotherapy.
Nathan had been due to have surgery on December 29 but it was cancelled with just minutes to go because the consultant was taken ill.
Having already fasted for over a day, the decision was made to reschedule it for around a week later.
The experience was an emotional roller coaster for Nathan who said he felt fearful and anxious about the procedure before suddenly being told it wasn’t happening.
His biggest concern was that a bespoke titanium implant created in Germany wasn’t going to be usable anymore.
Nathan called the cancellation the ‘biggest anti-climax’ ever but reassured fans his positive mindset held him in good stead.
Speaking yesterday from his hospital bed, he said: “Second physio session of the day. I managed to sit up on the edge of the bed, transfer myself to the commode, gert up from the commode with a zimmer frame and walk three steps.”

Sair said she had been overwhelmed by the messages she’s received and wrote: “I’m so proud of him for being so open and vulnerable in the hope that others won’t feel so alone.”
The actress, who plays Alya Nazir in Corrie, broke up with fellow soap star Simone Lennon in 2019 following a two-year relationship.
The pair called it quits after struggling to find time for their romance among their hectic schedules.
The Sun exclusively revealed that Sair had found love with Nathan.
The actress is dating hunky chiropractor Nathan Chilton after they were introduced through a pal.
A source said last year: “They’ve been dating since late last year after meeting through a mutual friend.
“Things have been going really well and it’s no secret that they’re head over heels for each other. Everyone’s hoping she’s found The One.”
