Former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook has revealed she has womb cancer.
The actress said the signs were there for around a year and a half, but doctors initially misdiagnosed her illness.
The 44 year old played Sam Mitchell on and off on EastEnders from 1990 to 2000, and has made a number of appearances since then.
Westbrook said her mother survived womb cancer almost 30 years ago after undergoing successful treatment and that she will follow suit.
