Countryfile star Julia wiped away tears recalling the moment she told her children she had breast cancer

Julia revealed she didn’t have enough fat around her body to reconstruct the breast after her and was offered silicone implants.

The brave star revealed to Holly, 41, and Phillip Schofield the moment she she told her children she had cancer, and how she felt before and after the surgery.

Wiping away tears, Julia said: “I’m still very emotional.

“I’ve discovered some serious hormone balances. So I’m deep diving into what I can do to maintain my health. I’m getting there. I hope I am helping other people, and I hope we can raise awareness of preventing cancer, alcohol is a risk, obesity is a risk.”

Julie appeared on ITV daytime This Morning ahead of her upcoming ITV documentary Breast Cancer and Me tonight.
