Great British Bake Off host Sue Perkins has been quick to let her fans know that she is fine after revealing she was diagnosed with a benign brain tumour eight years ago.
The presenter, who broke news of the diagnosis in an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine, took to Twitter to thank the well-wishes who had bombarded her with support, and offer them some reassurance.
‘Ta for sweet tweets about my prolactinoma,’ she said in direct reference to the growth on her pituitary gland.
‘It’s benign and non-symptomatic. All fine. Let’s focus on those less fortunate in the world.’
