Victoria Ekanoye has declared she is "cancer-free".
Victoria Ekanoye is cancer-free three years after her breast cancer diagnosis
The former 'Coronation Street' star - who played Angie Appleton on the classic ITV soap opera from 2017 to 2019 - shared the amazing update three years after she revealed her breast cancer diagnosis.
She announced on X (Twitter) alongside a selfie with her partner Jonny Lomas and their son, Théo: "Taken the day I revealed my Breast Cancer diagnosis, 2021. Just received my blood and PET scan results, I can finally say…I’m CANCER FREE.
"Thank you to those who formed my safety net. I’m humbled to have such beautiful humans in my life. 2024 Let’s go! #WorldCancerDay. (sic)"
The 42-year-old former 'Royals' actress underwent a life-saving double mastectomy.
And after taking a year off, she returned to acting in 2022, as Miranda Priestley in 'Death in Paradise'.
She went on to strip off in 'The Real Full Monty' to raise awareness of checking for the signs of the deadly disease.
Victoria discovered a lump in her breast while she was feeding her baby boy.
Speaking to The Mirror, she said: "Theo was six months old when I found a lump and I guess, two things for me: One thing is a lot of women and I hate that I'm saying this because a lot of women assume that any changes in your body are down to just having had a baby but it's really important that you are still very breast and body aware because you just never know.
"I'm the ninth person in my family now to develop cancer, the fifth to develop breast cancer, I'm a patron of a cancer charity so it would've been really silly of me not to take my own advice.
"I do speeches at universities and conferences and all that kind of stuff and, all of a sudden, it was me. I was doing this [raising awareness] before I was diagnosed because it's involved so much of my family. And with my mum being one of those people."
