Rebecca Jane, a politician and regular panellist on Jeremy Vine, has revealed she was rushed to hospital twice amid fears she may have bowel cancer. The 39-year-old, who recently stepped down as Deputy Leader of UKIP, shared her ordeal on social media, stating she lost almost two stone in two weeks.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Jane described the last three weeks as 'horrendous'. She said she has been classed as a 'suspected bowel cancer' case and has endured severe pain requiring morphine. Despite the diagnosis, she expressed doubt that cancer is the cause, insisting 'something is very wrong'.
Jane criticised A&E staff for being 'incompetent' but praised her GP and other consultants for their care. She noted that a consultant referred her under the two-week rule, and she was booked for an investigation within hours. She remains hopeful of getting to the bottom of her health issues.
The former UKIP deputy leader first gained fame in 2015, appearing on ITV shows such as This Morning and Loose Women. Her health struggles come as she continues to engage with followers, thanking them for their messages while admitting exhaustion.
