During today's episode of her ITV show, Lorraine Kelly took a moment to pause and pay tribute to her late co-star who had sadly passed away at the age of 50. After an advert break, she addressed her viewers with a heavy heart and shared the unfortunate news.
"I'm very sorry to have to share some sad news this morning," she began. "One of our amazing singers, Heather Sawyer, has passed away from secondary breast cancer. She was only 50 years old, and an absolutely astonishing woman." Lorraine went on to praise Heather's passion and dedication to the Change and Check Choir, which was set up on the show to raise awareness for breast cancer.
Heather was a crucial part of the choir and had even collaborated with singer Joss Stone on their debut song, Golden, which was released in 2023. Lorraine took a moment to honor Heather's memory and her contributions to the choir, live on-air.
Breast cancer awareness is something that should not be taken lightly, and Lorraine wanted to remind her viewers of the importance of self-checks. She shared some simple steps from CoppaFeel! on how to check for any signs of breast cancer. "It only takes a few minutes, and it could save your life," she reminded her audience.
Firstly, look at your chest from different angles and be aware of any changes in size, shape, or skin texture. Then, feel each breast for any lumps, bumps, or skin thickening. Finally, check your nipples for any unusual discharge, bleeding, or changes in position. These simple steps could help detect cancer at an early stage and improve chances of successful treatment.
