TV legend Esther Rantzen reveals lung cancer is Stage 4 - but says she's 'grateful'

But no, she concludes, she only feels grateful as she looks back on a long life and six-decade career.

The 82-year-old, who released a statement about her illness “because I find it difficult to skulk around various hospitals wearing an unconvincing disguise”, now reveals she is facing Stage 4 cancer.
