Samantha Womack in great spirits as she enjoys day out months after cancer all-clear

Samantha Womack was radiant with joy as she enjoyed a day out months after she revealed that she is cancer free.

The former EastEnders actress, who played Veronica 'Ronnie' Mitchell on the hit BBC One soap, delighted fans in December when she shared how she is free of the disease and is "thankful" for her life.

Samantha was diagnosed with cancer last summer but previously admitted that she had not spotted any symptoms.

And now, the star is the picture of health as she enjoyed the hot weather in North London this week.

She rocked loose navy overalls over a mesh pink long-sleeved top as she strolled through town.

The natural beauty was bare-faced, tied half her locks up to swoop the hair away from her face and also completed her casual look with earrings.

At one point, Samantha stopped at a local café to order a pot of tea as she sat at a table outside in the sunshine.

She showed off her pearly whites as she laughed during a conversation on FaceTime with another person.

Last month, Samantha appeared on Loose Women and issued a plea to young women all over the UK and Ireland to check their breasts after her breast cancer diagnosis.

The actress urged young women and men across the nation to check for lumps and unusual symptoms - reiterating that cancer can strike at any age.

Samantha said that she was inundated with messages from young women who have been going through a breast cancer diagnosis.

"Please check yourselves - young people too. It's so important, please, please, it happens to young people too," Samantha said while on the Loose Women panel.

Last summer, she explained how doctors discovered a 'little shadow' despite her not showing any symptoms.

The actress said: "Now I'm just having some treatment as I go back to work, as a prevention – it was crazy, I was doing The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe – the producers there were amazing and gave me time off.

Reflecting on her ordeal, she added: "My treatment is ongoing for breast cancer, the surgery was quite difficult to recover from just because it's quite tender when you have lymph nodes removed, there's a few mobility issues at the beginning.

"The first round of chemotherapy was pretty hardcore really, it was quite toxic – we were lucky because I got to recover in Spain, Ollie and Wallie were picking me up from the airport in Valencia.

"It was in the middle of a thunderstorm and I'd just had the treatment and these guys picked me up."
