Beverley Callard issues positive cancer update
Taking to Instagram last night (Thursday, April 30), Beverley spoke directly to fans and revealed the latest results.
Speaking to camera, she said: “I’ve got absolutely great news.
“One of the lymph nodes that they’d sent over for testing to see how aggressive the cancer would be, it’s on low numbers, which is really good.”
Beverley then explained that it means treatment can now move forward.
“That means I can begin the radiotherapy very soon, which I’m pleased about. So the next step is coming ahead. Thank you for all your messages, I’m sending loads of love,” she said.
Clearly delighted, Beverley then added: “I am popping champagne! Wahey!”
Her husband John also appeared briefly in the clip, popping his head in to say: “What a [bleeping] journey!”

Beverley ‘wiped out’ by live final
The update comes only days after Beverley admitted the live I’m A Celebrity final had left her feeling “wiped out” after appearing virtually.
In an Instagram video, she said: “Haven’t posted for a couple of days… I’ve been totally wiped out! I guess this is normal but one late night and I’m out of action for days.”
She added: “I’ve not posted for a few days because I stayed up really late on Friday night. Well late for me, because I had to do a Zoom for the I’m A Celeb final, which was a great talking point.
“The internet went down halfway through so I didn’t finish. Put loads of makeup on and stuck my eyelashes on and did all that and it was hardly worth it, but never mind. I was late to bed and I was wiped for days, absolutely wiped. Does anyone else feel like that with one late night? Is that what cancer does to you sometimes? I don’t know.”
Fans will no doubt be thrilled to hear Beverley is now celebrating a much brighter update as she looks ahead to radiotherapy.
