Ayda Field has revealed that her mother Gwen’s cervical cancer has returned.
The wife of pop star Robbie Williams shared the health update while appearing on Thursday’s episode of ITV’s Loose Women.
"This is a really tough thing for me to talk about,” she began.
"My mother - we don't talk about stages in our house - and I say all of this after having discussed it with my mum that I was going to potentially discuss what she was going through. My mother said, 'I so want you to tell this story, I just want to make sure it's positive. I am going to do my best and I am going to make this positive'."
She added: "My mother unfortunately has had a return of her cervical cancer and she is also a breast cancer survivor. The cancer has come back; we got the news a couple of months ago and I've just been privately processing it."
The mother-of-four also shared a series of pictures on Instagram of her parent underdoing cancer treatment.
In the accompanying caption, she penned: “She’s cried. I’ve cried. We’ve all cried together. There have been many moments of deep sadness. And yet, also moments of profound beauty and joy, in very unexpected ways. This is a battle. And what my mother has lost in hair and weight, she has more than gained in strength and bravery. I am lucky to have such a warrior mummy showing me the way. And I have deep gratitude, that in this moment right now, she is here to fight another day.”
Field previously opened up about her mum's battle with cancer back in 2020. Speaking on her other half’s podcast, At Home With the Williamses, she said: "It had spread outside the cervix and was a very aggressive tumour.
"Alongside her Parkinson's and her lupus was this cancer battle, because the cancer was so big they decided that she immediately go into chemo and radiation daily and have surgery."
She added: "It was very scary as my mum with Parkinson's, lupus, and cancer at 70 years old is prime for some bad things happening. So she was going to hospital every day for these treatments and I was worried she was going to pick something up."
One setback that they experienced was this all happened during lockdown.
She explained: "So alongside her Parkinson's and her Lupus was this cancer battle and because the cancer was so big they decided that she needed to immediately go into chemo and radiation daily and have surgery.
"When the pandemic hit it was very scary because my mum with Lupus and Parkinson's and cancer, at 70 years old is prime for some bad things happening so she was going to the hospital every day for these treatments."
