Beverley Callard: I’m A Celeb exit marks start of cancer battle
Beverley Callard reveals her I’m A Celebrity… South Africa exit began a cancer battle, including a breast cancer diagnosis and a health scare she faced on the show.
Beverley Callard, the 69-year-old Coronation Street star known for Liz McDonald, has revealed that her exit from I'm A Celebrity... South Africa was the moment her cancer journey began. She withdrew from the competition days before the finale for health reasons, shedding light on a personal struggle that had been unfolding in the background.
In a new video released after her exit aired, Callard says: "I just watched my exit on I'm A Celeb and it made me cry all over again. Of course, I didn't know then that I had cancer but I just knew that it was the last couple of days there that I hadn't felt very well." She also disclosed she lost consciousness during her time on the show.
The actress first revealed in February that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and would be undergoing further treatment. The updated health news adds another layer to the public account of her life beyond the screen and underscores the ongoing reality of cancer for many.
Fans and colleagues have voiced support as Beverley steps back to focus on treatment. Her team has not released further medical details, emphasizing privacy while she navigates treatment.
Her story serves as a reminder that public figures can face serious health battles, and sharing their experiences can help raise awareness about cancer and treatment options for others.
