Dame Esther Rantzen has revealed her lung cancer is now at stage four, after previously announcing in January that she had been diagnosed with the disease.
The broadcaster, who founded Childline, said in an exclusive interview with The Mirror : “I’m on one of the new medications, and nobody knows if it’s working or not. But I will have a scan fairly soon which will reveal one way or another."
Esther, 82, said she is "remaining optimistic" and had "decided not to keep this secret any more because I find it difficult to skulk around various hospitals wearing an unconvincing disguise".
