Lisa Faulkner, a British actress known for EastEnders and a TV presenter/chef associated with John and Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen and Celebrity MasterChef, says she has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Multiple outlets report that the 54-year-old shared the news after being absent from social media for a period and posted an update describing her treatment progress. Sources consistently state that she has already undergone surgery, described as major, about two weeks before her public announcement. She says she is now preparing for the next phase of care, including radiotherapy.
Several reports also highlight that Faulkner uses her experience to encourage health screening, particularly regular mammograms, and to avoid delaying check-ups. Coverage notes that she expresses gratitude for the NHS and includes a reassuring message about how she is doing following surgery. Some roundups further mention that her appearance in public entertainment continues and that she is sharing this update to provide support and awareness.
