Emotional Anne Nolan fights tears as she shares update on cancer diagnosis

Anne Nolan gave an emotional update on her health to host Christine Lampard during Tuesday's Lorraine. The presenter inquired about her wellbeing following her diagnosis of stage three breast cancer.

Anne responded: "I am so lucky, I had my first cancer in 2000, I had my chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and an operation."

Speaking about her sister Bernie's death, Anne described it as "terribly sad" and mentioned that another sibling, Linda, is not in good health.

In 2006, Linda was first diagnosed with breast cancer; regrettably, she announced last year that the cancer
