EMMERDALE star reveals how her pet dog Teddy alerted her to a lump in her breast before having cancer diagnosis.
Actress Malandra Burrows, 56, who played Kathy Glover on Emmerdale from 1985-2005 on and off was giver her diagnosis in February.
Speaking to The Mirror, Malandra told how one evening her one-year-old border collie Teddy refused to settle and kept knocking its head against her chest.
She said: “She just kept looking up at me, staring in a very strange way, then without any warning she thumped me with her head on my left breast so hard it brought tears to my eyes.
“It hurt so much that before I went to bed I checked to see if there was any bruising, which was the moment I felt something that had never been there before. It felt like a swollen gland, which I put down to Teddy’s blow.”
After giving it the weekend before calling the doctors she found the lump was still there on Sunday night.
She called her GP on Monday morning, which ultimately lead to her cancer diagnosis.
