Pop star Robbie's mum due home after heart op

ROBBIE Williams's mum could be home by the weekend as she recovers from heart surgery, her family said last night.

Relatives said Jan Williams responded well to surgery carried out on Sunday at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire.

The alcohol abuse councillor went under the knife after she was diagnosed with a diseased artery.

She was last night recovering at a private hospital in Cheshire.

A family member said: "We are just happy it was discovered in time and she is going to be okay.

"It will take a long while to recover properly, but we are hoping she will be home by the weekend."
