Susanna Reid told Good Morning Britain viewers about her difficulties booking a breast screening appointment after admitting Sarah, Duchess of York's shock cancer diagnosis was a "wake-up call".
Susanna told co-host Ed Balls: "Yesterday I admitted that because I had received an invitation to a mammogram rather than a mammogram appointment I had done, what unfortunately 12,000 other women in London had done and not gone ahead and booked an appointment."
Ed pointed out the importance of screenings because the Duchess of York has revealed that her screening led to her cancer diagnosis and subsequent operation, with a spokesperson for the royal confirming she is now resting at home.
