Corrie's Victoria Ekanoye recently celebrated two important milestones after being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing a double mastectomy. The stage and screen actress, from Bury, was diagnosed in October 2021 after finding a lump while feeding her baby boy Théo, who she had welcomed in January that year with her partner Jonny Lomas.
Victoria, who played Angie Appleton in Corrie, dazzled at a 'Bye Bye Boobies' party in her honour ahead of her surgery in December 2021. Speaking on the ITV chat show Loose Women ahead of her bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction, she said about her adorable boy: "How can I not do everything I can in my power to be here for him? We'll do everything we can to give him the best life."
And doting mum Victoria, who was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ - when cancer cells have developed within the milk ducts in the breast, is proud to see her little boy thriving. "He's running, talking and he knows his numbers, He's so smart," she told us.
