The Actress , who has played Sally Metcalfe in the ITV show since 1986, recalled how she only checked herself for a lump after working on the soap storyline.

" There was a particular day in 2009, I was reading the scripts, " she told

" And I thought I'm just going to go and see our nurse and see what she thinks, because I felt something very, very tiny. "

Shortly after filming The Scenes , Dynevor was informed that her Real Life was mirroring that of her character's.

'Just unbelievable'

" I don't think I could have done those scenes if I'd known I had breast cancer, " She Said .

" When [The Doctor ] told me, 'You have breast cancer', I fainted.

" Then I said, 'I think you're getting me Mixed Up with my character'.

" It was just unbelievable. "

Dynevor is now fronting a campaign by Prevent Breast Cancer to improve resources to train the Next Generation of medical staff to work in breast cancer screening.

According to The Charity , breast cancer is The Most common cancer in the UK and every year More Than 55,900 people are diagnosed.

The Charity 's Honorary President Lester Barr, who was a researcher on the ITV soap for The Breast cancer storyline, said: " Here in the UK, we can be very proud of our NHS breast screening programme, which is aimed at women over 50 and which saves thousands of lives every year.

" As well as that, we have a network of diagnostic breast clinics up and down the country for women of any age who find a lump.

" But what is happening is that We Are facing a workforce shortage. "

He added: " We now need to train the Next Generation of doctors, nurses, radiographers, radiologists, mammographers. "

Dynevor, who is a patron of The Charity , said: " When I got breast cancer, I was 46.

" And I thought that you didn't get breast cancer at 46, it was for an older person.

" But yesterday I met a Young Girl who was 22 when she got diagnosed. So this is really important. "

She continued: " You never think that's going to happen to you.

" When somebody tells you that news, and It Comes really out of The Blue , it's really shocking. "

Dynevor, who is mother to Bridgerton and Fair Play star Phoebe Dynevor , as well as daughter Harriet and son Samuel, said: " I have two daughters.

" I don't want my daughters to go through what I've been through So What Prevent is doing is really important. "
