The 37-year-old says she is receiving treatment after being diagnosed with stage 3 cancer.
Jo, who now has a 24 month-old daughter named Mabel, was planning on doing a smear test while pregnant, but due to complications which lead to both her and her daughter getting sepsis during delivery, the test had been put on hold until this summer."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.
"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’." The TV presenter has said that while doctors have given her a 70% success rate, the 30% risk of failure occupies the new mothers mind. She has urged other women during the Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month to not put off their smear tests to increase their chances of discovering the disease in an early stage.
