ITV favourite and This Morning's agony aunt Deirdre has revealed that she has cancer leaving viewers devastated by the news.
The 77-year-old television icon will now undergo surgery at the weekend after being told she has a "high-grade" carcinoma in her right breast, which would grow and spread aggressively had it not been discovered so early.
Deidre says she's made her illness public as she wants other women to go and get checked, writes The Mirror.
