Strictly Come Dancing star, Alex Kingston, has revealed she is in recovery after fighting uterine cancer last year.

The Doctor Who icon, who is dancing with Johannes Radebe, was told she had the disease in 2024 after she "haemorrhaged" on stage while performing a play at the Chichester Festival last summer.
