Former Emmerdale actress Malandra Burrows has talked about how her time in the I’m A Celebrity jungle gave her the strength to fight breast cancer. During an interview with Lorraine on Wednesday, May 11, she described the moment she told a nurse: “I’ve been in the jungle with Ant and Dec. I can do anything.”
The actress, who was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2006 and during her time on the show she took part in many Bushtucker trials.
Talking to Lorraine from her home, Malandra, who appeared on the ITV soap as Kathy Glover from 1985-2005, said: “The things that Ant and Dec put me through... I didn’t know it would save me now.” During her time on the reality show, she famously had to be rescued by Matt Willis and Lauren Booth when she was found hanging from a tight rope. Ultimately, she finished the popular ITV show in sixth place.
