Former Home and Away star Johnny Ruffo has thanked fans for their support after surgery for a brain tumour.

The actor and singer, who competed on the Australian version of The X Factor, is recovering from the operation after he went to hospital for a migraine.

Last week Ruffo, 29, shared a picture of his head after the operation, in which a huge incision that has been stapled together along his hairline can be seen.

When Essendon FC wrote a message of support on Twitter, Ruffo replied: “I’ll be back watching games before you know it, now let’s charge towards the finals.”

He previously told Daily Mail Australia: “I went into hospital with a migraine. I had to have emergency surgery to have a brain tumour removed.

“I am on the mend and feeling positive. Keep me in your thoughts.”
