Davina: losing my sister to lung cancer

Posted on: 18 July 2024

Filmed in 2014, Davina McCall reminded us of the impact cancer has had on her family in a poignant video on this week's episode of The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off. Davina opened up about losing her big sister Caroline to cancer in 2012 and how she has coped with the loss.

"She lives on with my children. We celebrate with my children. We celebrate her birthday. We try to forget the day she died. What I miss the most now about Caroline is just talking. I miss talking."

We Stand Up To Cancer with Davina, in memory of her sister, Caroline.

Nearly 1 in 2 people in the UK will get cancer during their life time.
