You won’t have to go through it on your own. I was looking down on them thinking, “What is happening here?” But there’s loads of help out there – I remember I felt like it was an out-of-body experience. How did you feel when you were first diagnosed with breast cancer? I have a bit of trouble with my legs and my balance, but I’m OK.

It used to be that people died, but now I think there are more people living with cancer than there are dying of it. We’re not afraid to talk about cancer anymore. So like I say, I’m living with cancer, I’m not dying from it.ĭo you think people are more open about discussing cancer these days?

People said, “Oh, well you lost it before, you must be used to it now,” and I went, “No, no, you never get used to not having any hair.” Then I stopped the chemo because it was affecting my quality of life. I did a strong course of chemo where I lost my hair again and I was traumatised again.

As you know, my cancer is treatable – not curable – so I’m on constant treatments. The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant spoke to The Mirror about her condition.
