Brenda Edwards "couldn't do" 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' after changing her diet due to her cancer battle.
Brenda Edwards doesn't think she'd cope on I'm A Celebrity
The 'Loose Women' star was diagnosed with cancer aged 46 in 2016 and underwent chemotherapy, a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery before making big lifestyle changes in the food she eats.
Asked about the prospect of reality TV, she told OK! magazine: "I'd love to do 'Strictly'. I've not been asked to do that one yet but I'd love to do it.
"I couldn't do the jungle though, I only eat green things now, remember!"
Her treatment and recovery gave Brenda a "second chance at life", and that was reflected in the way she has lived ever since.
She explained: "I cut out sugar - I used to have a lot of sugar in my coffee, I don't even want to admit it, but I had six sugars.
"Then I started to do some research. My [late son Jamal] would too and he would read something and send it to me.
"I stopped eating processed foods, I started growing my own veg because I did research into pesticides, and I had a diet of spinach, because if it's good for Popeye, it's good for me!"
After losing her own parents at a young age, Brenda - whose son Jamal died aged 31 in 2022 - was determined to overcome her battle with cancer for the sake of her kids.
She said: "I've had a lot of tragedy in my life and you kind of learn to be resilient.
"Because both of my parents died when I was so young, so I was determined not to let my children be orphaned.
"I always said that I wanted to get passed the age that my parents were, because they were very young - 27 and 25 - so it just wasn't an option for me. Cancer knocked on the wrong door."
