Much-loved TV presenter Vanessa Feltz has opened up on the heartbreak of seeing her mum Valerie lose her battle to cancer when she was just 57 years old.
Speaking on Talk TV last night, 3 August, the 61-year-old - who is set to take part in the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating - urged all women to speak out if they feel that, in a medical capacity, they're not receiving proper attention from professionals and to always push for a diagnosis. "And it turned out to be endometrial cancer and she died at the age of 57. She died of it. It had spread so far that they couldn't really do anything much about it and she definitely was neither heard nor listened to, she really, really wasn’t."
"As her family, we, to some extent, thought, 'They say it’s nothing serious, good' rather than 'Push harder, push harder, and try and find out what it is, it must be something'.
