'It’s the first thing that’s made me cry in 12 episodes'

#YouMeBigC's Rachael Bland talks about the moment when she took 'the call' from her doctor. The mum of one said she always asks the doctor to phone her with any news.

Whilst visiting an ice cream farm with her son and friends, the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 5 live newsreader has been told her cancer is now metastatic and therefore incurable:

"I literally flung myself at my friend, hugged her and the other girls looked at me a bit ‘Oh no, what’s going on?’"

"I just got Freddie together, got in the car, two minutes down the road from our house."

"Luckily Steve (Rachael's husband) was working from home that day. So dashed home as quickly as I could and just all the way home, saying to Freddie “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry."
