Holly Willoughby was close to tears on This Morning as co-star Julia Bradbury opened up about her battle with breast cancer.
Julia was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and has largely been absent from screens after undergoing a mastectomy, just a month after being handed the devastating news. On Thursday night, she will front an incredibly moving ITV documentary about her experiences, Breast Cancer and Me, which will follow Julia's story, from emotional video diary entries to navigating having to tell her young children the diagnosis.
Speaking about what people can expect from the programme and what she's been through over the past year, Julia joined Holly and co-host Phillip Schofield in the This Morning studio and told them: "I didn’t suddenly want to drop off the face of the earth and not talk about what happened to the lump and mammograms. I know that by being open about this, people feel I’m there with them through some of their journeys and it has broken some of the stigmas about breast cancer and talking about it and the impact it has on everybody in your life.”
