Actress Samantha Womack has announced she has breast cancer as she paid tribute to Olivia Newton-John, whose death from the disease was announced last night. EastEnders star Sam revealed in a social media post that she was "starting my own battle with this disease" as she posted a picture of herself with the Grease legend.
It appears that Sam found strength from the sad news that Olivia had died aged 73 at her ranch in America, surrounded by her family. Olivia had battled the disease for three decades, reports the Mirror.
Sam uploaded a photo of her time performing in Grease in the West End. She recalled how the film's original stars, Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, had come to see her.
