Beverley Callard has candidly opened up about feeling like she is “half a woman” following her breast cancer diagnosis.

The Coronation Street legend, who revealed her diagnosis in February, has recently shared she is to start radiotherapy after receiving “great news” following further tests.

In an Instagram video, posted on Monday (11 May), the 69-year-old opened up about having a “confidence crisis.”

Callard was supported by fans, with one writing on Instagram: “You are twice the woman you were before. To stand with such courage, to be the inspiration for others, and to be so strong and positive makes you more than the woman you once were.”
