Lisa Faulkner’s friend Angela Griffin has issued an update on the actor and presenter’s health following her cancer diagnosis.

Faulkner, 54, announced earlier this year that she had undergone surgery following an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis.

Speaking to ITV’s This Morning on Thursday (17 September), the Blue Lights star, 50, told the hosts that Faulkner is over the “big hills” of her illness.

Faulkner’s husband, John Torode, told The Times that her diagnosis changed “absolutely everything” for the couple.

“Cancer comes along and knocks you again, and you suddenly realise that none of the other stuff matters,” he said.
