Reality TV exit follows difficult few months
Beverley Callard has updated fans on her health after leaving I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! South Africa due to medical concerns.
Her exit from the ITV all-stars edition comes during a challenging period for the actress, who revealed earlier this year that she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. The former Coronation Street star had recently entered the competition before stepping away for health reasons.
Actress reveals latest cancer update
Last week, Beverley said she had undergone surgery to remove the cancer and described the procedure as successful. However, she later revealed doctors found cancer in one lymph node. She is now awaiting further updates after the lymph node was reportedly sent to the United States for testing.
Speaking to followers on Instagram, Beverley said she has been focusing on recovery at home. She explained that her husband, Jon McEwan, has been making sure she avoids doing too much as they settle into their new home. The actress said she hopes to continue recovering in time for Friday’s live final of the ITV series.
Fans send support
Fans quickly responded with supportive messages after her latest update. Many encouraged her to prioritise her health, while others shared their own experiences with cancer treatment. Beverley also said she has been keeping busy by decorating her new home in Ireland while waiting for further medical guidance.
