Davina McCall has revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer after finding a lump five weeks ago.
The TV presenter disclosed that she underwent surgery three weeks ago as she announced the news in an emotional video posted to her Instagram account on Saturday morning.
She described being “very angry” when she found out, but is now in a “much more positive place” following the lumpectomy.
She said: “I have had breast cancer. I found a lump a few weeks ago. It came and went but then I was working on The Masked Singer and Lorraine, the TV show, and Lorraine Kelly had put signs on the backs of all the doors saying ‘check your breasts’ and every time I went for a wee I did that.
“It was still there, and then one morning I saw myself in the mirror and thought ‘I’m going to get that looked at’.
“I had a biopsy. I found out it was indeed breast cancer and I had it taken out in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago.”
She added: “It was very, very small, so I got it very, very early which is incredibly lucky. But I am so relieved to have had it removed and to know that it hasn’t spread. My lymph nodes were clear, I didn’t have any removed, and all I’m going to do now is have five days of radiotherapy in January as kind of an insurance policy.”
