What has happened to Sarah Beeny?

Television presenter and entrepreneur Sarah Beeny revealed in August 2022 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was undergoing treatment.

Her revelation comes fourty years after her mother Ann Beeny died of the condition at age 36.

At the time her mother died, she was 10 years old.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Beeny said she had “a little bit of a breakdown” when doctors revealed the initial cancer diagnosis.

She said;

“I thought, ‘You don’t understand. I have waited 40 years to hear those words.’ I knew I was going to hear it one day.”

She further said that losing her mother at such a young age taught her how to be resilient.

“I knew she’d had a mastectomy but I didn’t know what a mastectomy was. I didn’t know what cancer was. I didn’t know until the day she died,” she narrated.

Explaining how her mother died at home following a lengthy battle with the disease – which subsequently spread from her breast to her brain, the presenter recollects overhearing the doctor explaining her mother “wouldn’t wake up”.

Sarah Beeny, aged 50, is expected to undergo surgery and radiotherapy in the coming year.
