She was, but on Friday told ITV's Lorraine she had received much better news in The Past few days.

Beeny said recent months had been a " rollercoaster ride".

" But I feel very fortunate that I had The Diagnosis that I did, and that I live in 2023 and that I'm the age that I Am , " she added. " So many things I'm fortunate for, so I feel very blessed. "

'Good but weird'

Beeny, who underwent chemotherapy, told host Christine Lampard that it felt " good but it's weird" to be told she is now cancer free.

" They kind of go, 'that's It Then , that's The End of that'. And you kind of go, 'how do you know?' and they go 'we don't, we just kind of think so'. "

According to the, about one in seven women are diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. They note there is " a good chance of recovery if it's detected at an early stage".

The presenter will appear alongside her family again in a forthcoming new series of Sarah Beeny 's New Life In The Country, which was filmed before her Diagnosis .

in August, She Said she had " a little bit of a breakdown" after receiving The News in a hospital consultation room.

Beeny has four children and has been married to artist Graham Swift since 2003.

She is a campaigner for buildings At Risk and, in 2010, began to chart the renovation of Rise Hall , a Grade II-listed stately home in Rise, East Yorkshire , as part of Channel 4 series Beeny's Restoration Nightmare.
