Carol Vorderman has revealed she is undergoing a blood test to screen for 70 different cancers this week. The 64-year-old television personality, best known for presenting Countdown, shared the news on Instagram in response to a post from actress Sally Dynevor.
Vorderman wrote that she had already had a full body MRI scan this year, which came back clear. She added that early detection is now her mantra, following her diagnosis with “chronically debilitating rheumatoid arthritis” almost a year ago.
The broadcaster said the costs of such screening services have come down dramatically but remain expensive for most people. She also noted that she no longer takes her health for granted after struggling to find the right medication for her condition.
Sally Dynevor, 62, who plays Sally Metcalfe on Coronation Street, had earlier shared details of her own full body MRI and CT scan, encouraging followers to prioritise prevention. She described the scan as a powerful, radiation-free way to detect potential health issues early.
