Davina McCall has announced she's been diagnosed with breast cancer. It comes a year after she underwent emergency surgery to remove a brain tumour.
The TV presenter (58) took to Instagram to share the sad news.
She told fans she found a lump a few weeks ago.
She began by saying: "Hello. I am talking about this because I think it may help someone, and this is what I always do.
"I just wanted to tell you that I have had breast cancer. I found a lump a few weeks ago and it came and went, but then I was working on The Masked Singer and Lorraine Kelly’s TV show had put signs on the back of all the doors saying to 'check your breasts' and every time I went for a wee, I did that.
"And it was still there. One morning I saw it in the mirror and thought I needed to get it looked at, so I had a biopsy and found out that it was indeed breast cancer."
Davina went on to say she had the lump removed in a lumpectomy almost three weeks ago.
"The margins were very small so I got it very, very early, which is incredibly lucky. But I am so relived to have had it removed and to know that it hasn’t spread. My lymph nodes were clear and I didn’t have any removed. All I am going to do now is have five days of radiotherapy in January, as kind of an insurance policy, and then I am on my journey to try and stop it ever coming back."
She then offered a "massive thank you" to the staff at the Royal Marsden Hospital, as well as her family, kids and partner Michael.
"It’s been a lot. I was very angry when I found out, but I let go of that and feel in a much more positive place now. I think my message is, get checked if you’re worried. Check yourself regularly. If you are due a mammogram, then get it done."
