Michelle goes ahead with hysterectomy

Everyone who's been in touch, it’s helping me through it

Michelle Heaton

Michelle Heaton is bravely going ahead with a hysterectomy in a bid to prevent ovarian cancer. The Big Reunion star underwent a double mastectomy after discovering she has an 80 per cent chance of developing breast cancer due to a mutated BRCA2 gene.

The same gene increases her chance of ovarian cancer and she says she doesn't want to risk her children growing up without a mother. She joins Lorraine live on the sofa for an exclusive TV interview.
