- Alex Kingston, the 62-year-old Doctor Who and ER actress, has revealed she initially missed the signs of her uterine cancer before her diagnosis.
- She underwent a hysterectomy and radiation therapy last year, having previously attributed symptoms like bloating and weight gain to getting older.
- Kingston only realised the severity of her condition when she started haemorrhaging on stage, leading to her diagnosis.
- Although initially private about her illness, she decided to speak out to encourage others to get unusual bodily changes checked, rather than dismissing them.
- She also addressed Craig Revel Horwood's “midlife crisis” comment on Strictly Come Dancing, stating she believes people should live life and dance regardless of age.
