She said: “I just wanted a bit of peace!”
Beverly’s husband Jon McEwan added: “They are ridiculous. For starters, they shouldn’t be on the sofa.”
“I know, but they missed me,” Beverly replied.

Signs and symptoms
Stay alert to symptoms of breast cancer which include:
- A lump or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit
- A change to the skin, such as puckering or dimpling
- A change in the colour of the breast – the breast may look red or inflamed
- A nipple change, for example, it has become pulled in (inverted)
- Rash or crusting around the nipple
- Unusual liquid (discharge) from either nipple
- Changes in the size or shape of the breast
On its own, pain in your breasts is not usually a sign of breast cancer. But look out for pain in your breast or armpit that’s there all or almost all the time.
Although rare, men can get breast cancer. The most common symptom of breast cancer in men is a lump in the chest area.
Check your breasts
There’s no special way to check your breasts and you do not need any training. At Breast Cancer Now, they say, it’s as simple as TLC: Touch, Look, Check:
- Touch your breasts: can you feel anything new or unusual?
- Look for changes: does anything look different to you?
- Check any new or unusual changes with a GP

Beverly told fans: “So far, blood pressure done. That’s high, of course, because I’m nervous,” Bev told fans.
“They’ve taken blood, blood oxygen levels, and now they’re going to see if they can fit me in for a scan before they get the results of the blood test, because they take about three hours.”
Next Bev was back at home, and revealed that her latest test had shown that she didn’t have blood clot, as she had feared.
But the star revealed doctors had found something else.
Revealing her new diagnosis, Bev said: “Apparently, wait for it, it’s a cyst, but it’s quite common.
“It’s at the back of my knee there, well there, I had this pain and I didn’t think it was anything but it persisted.
“So then I thought I should go and obviously I was panicked a little bit yesterday, but I’m okay.”
Bev then revealed she was off to see her radiotherapist, and in her final update, she opened up about starting the gruelling treatment.
“I’ll be having 10 days of radiotherapy, five consecutive days, then a weekend off, then five more days. I’m not sure when it starts yet,” she told fans.
