Nicki Chapman's brain tumour battle

She’s the former music publicist who’s worked with The Spice Girls, Take That and David Bowie, but earlier this year, Nicki Chapman was given the fright of her life. The former Pop Idol judge was shocked to discover she’d been diagnosed with a brain tumour the size of a golf ball and underwent intense surgery - keeping her ordeal a secret from many friends and colleagues.

Five weeks after her operation, Nicki Chapman says she’s living life like never before - giving thanks to our incredible NHS who cared for her and the wonderful fans who supported her.
