Beverley Callard, best known for portraying Liz McDonald on Coronation Street, has shared a health update following her breast cancer diagnosis. The 69-year-old actress, who disclosed her early-stage breast cancer in February, experienced a dramatic collapse during her time on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! which she later attributed to her illness.
Exhausting Live Final
Callard participated in the show's live final via video link, a decision she now says left her feeling completely drained. 'The live final wiped me out for days,' she admitted. 'I was absolutely shattered.' The actress had to exit the jungle prematurely after losing consciousness, a symptom that prompted her to seek medical advice and ultimately led to her cancer diagnosis.
Awaiting Test Results
Currently, Callard is waiting for further test results to determine the next steps in her treatment. 'I'm hoping to get the results soon,' she said. 'It's a waiting game, but I'm staying positive.' The star has been open about her health journey, encouraging others to get regular check-ups.
Fans have rallied around Callard, sending messages of support as she navigates this challenging period. Her candidness about the experience has been praised, highlighting the importance of early detection and self-care.
