Julia Bradbury's heartbreak at hiding cancer diagnosis from ITV colleagues at NTAs

Julia Bradbury had to hide her breast cancer diagnosis from her ITV colleagues at the National Television Awards last year.

Countryfile star Julia, 52, was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2021 and underwent a mastectomy a month later. She opened up about her diagnosis and how it affected her in her candid documentary Julia Bradbury: Breast Cancer and Me.

She will return to the NTAs tonight as she has made the shortlist in the Authored Documentary category, but she admits this year will be very different for her as last year, she was forced to hide her diagnosis from her colleagues. Julia had received the diagnosis from the doctors but was unable to tell her friends because she hadn't yet told her children.
