Sky Sports host Jo Wilson has announced she has been diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer.
The presenter, 37, who has hosted Sky Sports since 2015, is undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy after being diagnosed this summer.
Jo has already lost a stone due to the gruelling affect the treatment is having on her body.
The host had gone for a routine smear test in June, with the results detecting signs of cancer.
A month later further tests showed the TV favourite was battling 3b cervical cancer with it having spread to two of her lymph nodes.
Jo, who is proud mum to 23-month-old daughter Mabel, said she broke down in tears to her husband Dan after doctors delivered the news.
"I cried while a lovely nurse held my hand. Then I cried to Dan, and he was quite shocked because he didn’t really think it would be cancer. You're desperately hoping there's a chance it might not be," Jo told OK! Magazine.
"I said to the doctor ‘Am I going to die?'. 'You're not going to die,’ he reassured me. ‘It's very treatable, and it's very curable'."
Jo had been due a smear test while she had been pregnant with Mabel, but after a traumatic forceps delivery where they both caught sepsis, the presenter had delayed getting it done.
Jo spoke openly about her fears of the success rate of the treatment, saying while there is a 70% success rate, she thinks about the 30% chance it might not work.
The host, who has public with her diagnosis during Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month, says she is "hanging onto the positives" and has to believe "everything is in my favour".
The mother-of-on says she finds it "terrifying" she could have put off her smear test even longer as she urged women the importance of getting one done.
Jo spoke about how there was a surge in women getting their smear tests done after Big Brother star Jade Goody's tragic death, but now one in three don't go.
She has decided to speak out about her cancer battle to raise awareness and hopes she will be able save another's life by doing so.
