The singer-songwriter and actor disclosed the news with a post on X on Monday (July 14), in which she responded to fans who had been wondering why she had been a less regular presence on social media lately.

“’Suki you never tweet anymore’, have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia & I’ve been too scared to tell you,” she wrote.

The post was accompanied with a pic of Waterhouse lying in a hospital bed, alongside another photo of her on stage wearing the apparently responsible black leather trousers.

Waterhouse is due to hit the road for a series of festival appearances, kicking off at the Frequency Festival in Austria on August 13 and including Reading & Leeds before she performs at London’s O2 Kentish Town Forum on August 25 and Belfast Ulster Hall on August 28.

She released her second album ‘Memoir Of A Sparklemuffin’ last year. Speaking to NME at the time, she shared how writing the record during her pregnancy shaped its production: “The beautiful thing about making this record was that I had this very physical deadline – not just one where it’s like, ‘You should turn it in then’, but a very physical one.

“That was something that I really leaned into with this project, and not being able to leave my living room for a couple of months was probably the best thing for it.”

Last summer, she also played a support slot at Taylor Swift‘s ‘Eras Tour’ run at Wembley Stadium. Following the show, she joked that her “nervous system will never be the same”, adding: “The last time I was at Wembley I was dancing my ass off at the Reputation tour! Never did I think the next time I’d be here would be opening for my favourite artist with my friends and family in the crowd.”
