Play School star's heartbreaking health update
Trisha Goddard, who was the host of Play School in the 1990s, has shared a devastating health update.
The 66-year-old revealed that her breast cancer - which she was first diagnosed with in 2008 - has returned, and this time it's terminal.
“It’s not going to go away,” Goddard revealed to HELLO! magazine.
“And with that knowledge comes grief, and fear.
“But I must keep enjoying what I have always enjoyed.”
The English TV presenter shared that she found out that she had stage four cancer 19 months ago, but only just decided to make the news public.
“I won’t hide it anymore,” she said, after sharing that her illness had become more apparent.
“I can’t lie. I can’t keep making up stories.
“It gets to a stage, after a year and a half, when keeping a secret becomes more of a burden than anything else.”
Following the interview, Goddard took to Instagram to share an updated photo of her with a cropped blonde hairstyle.
"Doing this is tough. .." she began in the caption.
"I’ve been keeping a difficult secret for 19 months now, but like my new hairstyle – I can’t hide it anymore."
Fans took to the comments to share their support for the TV personality.
“You look beautiful Trisha. Only wish this image was accompanying brighter news,” one fan wrote.
“Sending you strength, ease and all you need to get through this again 🖤.”
“I saw your pic and thought how amazing you look ... which tells me all your good energy is going to get you through this,” another added.
“You’re an inspiration, Trisha you’ve got this.”
Goddard hosted Play School between 1987 and 1998 alongside Colin Buchanan.
