Dragons' Den star Kelly Hoppen diagnosed with breast cancer after ignoring appointments for years

Kelly Hoppen announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer after ignoring her mammogram letters for years.

The Dragons' Den star admits she was 'foolish' for blanking the reminders for a routine mammogram for eight years, before eventually getting checked out at an appointment. The interior designer, 63, has revealed that she was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

Kelly, 63, has opened up about her own ordeal in the hopes of warning others against ignoring these invitations. The interior designer even admitted she would sometimes schedule appointments, but would 'foolishly' cancel before attending.
