Noel Gallagher’s ex-wife, Meg Mathews, has revealed that she was secretly battling breast cancer and has undergone a double mastectomy. She says she has been sharing details publicly for the first time, explaining the health scare and her treatment decision.

The outlets agree on the core facts: Mathews is 60, the cancer diagnosis was undisclosed until now, and she has had a double mastectomy. Manchester Evening News frames the story around her disclosure of the diagnosis and the surgery. Other UK tabloids, including the Daily Mail and Mail Online, add emphasis on why she describes the decision as straightforward, presenting her as speaking for the first time about her reasoning.

The Belfast Telegraph also reports Mathews’ breast cancer battle and mastectomy, aligning with the same overall storyline, though the provided summary contains no additional specifics beyond that headline content.
