The actress recalled that she had suffered a haemorrhage while on stage at Chichester Festival Theatre, something she described as “shocking”.<\/p>\n
She appeared in The Other Boleyn Girl at the West Sussex theatre in April and May 2024.<\/p>\n
After seeking medical attention following the show’s run, Kingston was told the cancer was in her fallopian tubes but had not spread to the ovaries. <\/p>\n
“The minute I had the operation, I suddenly felt like myself again,” Kingston said. <\/p>\n
The actress urged other women not to ignore any signs of ill health, and to have check-ups if they feel anything is wrong. <\/p>\n
Kingston played River Song in BBC One sci-fi series Doctor Who from 2008 to 2015, and starred in US medical drama ER for more than a decade as Dr Elizabeth Corday.<\/p>\n
She is currently taking part in Strictly with professional dance partner Johannes Radebe, and the pair topped the leaderboard last week with their samba.<\/p>\n
