Davina McCall Uses Stand Up To Cancer To Highlight Early Detection After Breast Cancer Diagnosis

She says doctors removed a very small lump in October after early detection, prompting her call for regular self-checks.

Overview

  • McCall told co-host Adam Hills it feels "super important" to take part in the fundraiser following her diagnosis.
  • She publicly disclosed the diagnosis in November on Instagram and urged people to check themselves regularly.
  • For the Stand Up To Cancer broadcast, she met patients at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge to discuss their treatment journeys.
  • Presenter Hannah Fry said routine cervical screening caught her cancer early enough for treatment and saved her life.
  • McCall previously had a benign brain tumour removed after a health check linked to her menopause advocacy.
