Overview
- The former Made in Chelsea star completed a five-day, 100km-plus trek across the Moroccan Sahara as a team leader for youth-focused breast cancer charity CoppaFeel!
- She took part alongside more than 120 supporters, including Ashley James, Bimini, Carrie Hope Fletcher and Giovanna Fletcher.
- Mackintosh previously found a breast lump, underwent an inconclusive biopsy followed by an MRI, and was given the all-clear 18 months ago with doctors attributing the lump to hormonal changes.
- She says the experience motivated her to promote self-checks among younger women and to support those living with cancer.
- She described the trek as physically and emotionally demanding, noted being apart from her two young daughters, and returned to the UK after meeting her family in Marrakech; her paperback Bad Drunk, co-authored with GP Dr Ellie Cannon, is due in January.
