The Irish-born BBC-TV presenter-as now cancer-free-SA is that her shocking diagnosis was the driving force she needed to make significant lifestyle changes.

“And I don’t blame myself for my cancer and I don’t blame anyone for their cancer,” Bradbury continued. “But what I will say is in my case, in my situation I was not, even though I thought I was relatively healthy, I did not lead a healthy day by day.”

Bradbury said that sleep was not a priority before she got cancer, mostly because of her demanding career reporting of entertainment news. She admitted that with her sleeping habits, paired with poor diet and exercise, she left herself open to the disease.

“So now I look back and I go, I’m not actually so surprised,” she said. “I mean, my illness manifested as cancer. It could have been type 2 diabetes. It could have been three or four other things.”
