Kirsty Gallacher Says Brain Tumour Is Growing Quickly as She Starts Radiotherapy

A court has banned her from driving for six months following an April speeding offence.

Overview

  • The TV presenter said doctors do not know if radiotherapy will work and that surgery may be required.
  • She disclosed that the benign acoustic neuroma was diagnosed in 2021 and had been monitored for about three years.
  • High Wycombe magistrates handed down the six‑month ban after she was caught at 35mph in a 30mph zone in Maiden’s Green, Berkshire.
  • Court filings noted she already had nine penalty points, and she argued mitigation as the sole carer of two children with limited access to public transport where they live.
  • She also said police are investigating an assault in Central London two weeks earlier that officers believe was a targeted attack.
