Deidre Sanders, the agony aunt on the ITV daytime show This Morning has announced her breast cancer has returned saying she was "shocked and wasn't expecting it." The star first announced she had been diagnosed in September 2022, in a conversation with former hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
At the time, she told them: "I think people panic at the word cancer often, and they can be scared of even going to a doctor with their initial worry because they're terrified of getting a diagnosis, even though getting the diagnosis is what leads to treatment.
We can be so scared about that word so I am really happy to bring it out into the open." On Tuesday's episode, the agony aunt sat down with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley to reveal her breast cancer has now returned, revealing she has an annual mammogram due to her previous diagnosis. "Unfortunately, I've got to have a lumpectomy followed by radiotherapy.
I feel lucky, it's been caught early and the treatment is happening very rapidly," she said announcing she will be having surgery this month.
