Beverley Callard has been forced to withdraw from appearing at the I'm A Celebrity South Africa final tonight due to medical reasons, just weeks after undergoing cancer surgery.
Medical Advice Prevents Attendance
The actress, best known for playing Liz McDonald on Coronation Street, informed fans that doctors advised her not to travel from her home in Ireland to London for the event. Despite having booked her flights, the 69-year-old expressed her disappointment, stating she is "gutted" to miss the live studio finale.
Health Battle
Callard was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in February 2026, four months after filming the ITV series. She shared with fans: "Yesterday, I should have flown to England to get ready for the I'm A Celeb final." The decision to pull out was made following her recent cancer surgery and subsequent medical guidance.
