MIRIAM Margolyes says her recent heart operation has left her feeling anxious about the future.

The 83-year-old Harry Potter actress has battled several health challenges over the past couple of years but revealed her latest setback was scary.

Miriam said: “I not long ago had a heart operation – well, a procedure. My aortic valve, which is a very important part of the heart, was blocked. I’ve had the procedure, I’ve got the cow’s valve instead of mine. I survived.

“Everybody I talked to said, ‘For goodness sake, slow down’. Well, that’s not going to happen.
