Former Emmerdale star Malandra Burrows, best known for her role as Kathy Glover on the ITV soap, has shared her heartbreak over being diagnosed with stage three breast cancer.
The actress was left devastated when she was told the news in February after finding a lump a month earlier.
After being checked by her GP, a follow-up scan and ultrasound confirmed that her cancer had progressed to stage three, and she had to have surgery to get it removed.
