Dragons' Den star Kelly Hoppen diagnosed with cancer after ignoring mammograms for 8 years

Kelly Hoppen has announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year after having "ignored" routine invitations to have a mammogram for a number of years.

The interior designer, 63, has revealed that she was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It's described by Macmillan as the "earliest possible form of breast cancer," though the charity adds that it still needs to be treated.

She has now opened up about her experience after being told "everything [is] clear" and she hopes to warn others against overlooking invitations to have a mammogram.
