Almost expecting a diagnosis at some point in her life, Beeny said: “I’ve waited 40 years to hear those words. I knew I was going to hear it one day.” She went on to explain that she was handed the devastating diagnosis only three weeks ago and has started chemotherapy. The Property Ladder presenter has also taken to social media to reveal her new short haircut, after donating some of her hair to the Little Princess Trust before she will, sadly, lose some as a result of her cancer treatment.
Speaking about her four teenage boys attempting to cut off her hair, Beeny said with a laugh: “To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend getting four teenage boys to cut off your hair. Graham was trying to cut it nicely, but the boys – well, they’re not going to be famous hairdressers.
“They said I looked like Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones – I mean, she’s beautiful so I was sort of flattered, but my hair is now in some places about a centimetre long and in some places it’s an inch long.”
Despite the laughter, Beeny also admitted that she found losing her hair “really, really sad”; the realities of what a cancer diagnosis means to a loving family.
On the day she went to the doctors, Beeny knew she was going to be told she had cancer. “I think I’m impatient because it might run out; you might not have any more time,” she said.

“Even though we’d all got masks on, you can look at people’s eyes. And I thought, ‘Oh, I know what those eyes are saying.
“Then I turned around and there was this lovely lady there who was a breast cancer support nurse, sitting on the chair next to me. I looked at her and thought, ‘Well, you’re not here because you’re bored or looking for a nice, cool room to sit in.’
“I just said, ‘Look, I’ve got cancer, haven’t I?’ And they just said, ‘Yes.’”
The star’s condition was picked up after she found a lump in her breast and sought doctor’s advice. Although an initial mammogram did not flag anything as unusual, a biopsy confirmed it was cancer.
