Sarah Beeny has announced that she’s cancer-free as she discussed the “rollercoaster ride” of her diagnosis.
The property expert was diagnosed with breast cancer last August and has since undergone a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Appearing on Friday’s Lorraine with her sons Billy and Raffy, the 51-year-old told stand-in host Christine Lampard: “It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride.
“But I feel very fortunate that I had the diagnosis that I did, and that I live in 2023 and that I’m the age that I am. So many things I’m fortunate for so I feel very blessed.”
The Channel 4 star also admitted that she feels “weird” after receiving the news that she is now cancer-free following a difficult few months.
She continued: “Weird. It’s good but it’s weird. They kind of go, ‘That’s it then, that’s the end of that’.
“And you kind of go, ‘How do you know?’ and they go ‘We don’t, we just kind of think so’.”
Despite being cancer-free, Beeny explained that she’ll be on medication for the next 10 years to keep the disease at bay.
She explained: “I’ll have to take drugs for the next 10 years and be very vigilant, but yeah it’s been a weird ride that I wouldn’t wish on anyone else but I’m glad I did it rather than somebody else.”
The TV star went on to express her gratitude for the support she’s received throughout her journey from both fans and the NHS.
“The NHS was amazing, the guys in Yeovil and the Royal Marsden were amazing,” Beeny said. “I can’t tell you how lovely everyone has been, it’s been overwhelming how lovely everyone has been.”
Beeny announced on Instagram on Thursday that her series, Sarah Beeny’s New Life in the Country, would be returning to screens on Monday, April 17.
The Channel 4 series follows Beeny and her family, husband Graham Swift and their four sons, Billy, Charlie, Raffy and Laurie, as they adapt to life after moving to Somerset.
The property expert swapped London for a 220-acre, semi-derelict former dairy farm in the hope of building a modern stately home.
Speaking about the new installment, which was filmed before her diagnosis, she shared: “There is so much going on. It’s good to keep busy; I like to keep busy.”
