Pullen, who leaves behind her husband Simon and three children, was given the all-clear in 2020, telling The Irish News "I'm cancer free, which is great, so now it's all about recovery."
In June, Pullen was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and posted on her website: "I was only given the all-clear from cancer 18 months ago and it's a cruel blow to think that I will now be starting into some kind of treatment again and that this time it will be long term and a permanent fixture of my life."
