Sunday Brunch star flooded with support as they share ‘earth-shattering’ cancer diagnosis

A Sunday Brunch star has taken to social media to share the heartbreaking news that she has been diagnosed with cancer

Sunday Brunch’s Morgan McGlynn has shared the devastating news of her breast cancer diagnosis.

The presenter took to Instagram to break the “earth-shattering” news to her followers, posting a picture from her hospital bed.

She captioned the post: “In October 2024, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. It was nothing short of earth-shattering. But we’ve done our best to keep like as normal as possible for our daughter.”

The Channel 4 show’s resident cheese connoisseur, who tied the knot with husband Ben Carr in 2022, went on to say: “Treatment is different for every person. No two paths are the same. But here’s what happened to me.

“I was given a week before chemo to get my ducks in a row, which included chopping my hair off and IVF and egg retrieval, something I’m incredibly grateful I was able to do.

“Then came six months of weekly chemotherapy. The hardest thing I’ve ever done. Some weeks, I sat for 13 hours at a time, thanks to my friends who kept me company. And for those who’ve been through the cold cap, you’ll know it’s no joke.”

“I had to catch my breath and get through the hardest parts before sharing this,” she confessed.

The cheesemonger then explained why she decided to share her harrowing journey online, having been previously unaware of many of the symptoms of breast cancer prior to her own diagnosis, reports the Express.

She concluded: “If even one person sees this and it prompts them to check a lump or get a second opinion, it could save a life. Please trust your gut.”

Fortunately, the broadcaster’s situation is improving. Morgan shared: “Two weeks ago, I had surgery – and a few days later we got some very, very good news. I want to say thank you – to my amazing husband, family, friends, and the people who have shown up in a million small and mighty ways.”

Another commented: “Oh my goodness shattering news for you to take in. So, so well done for getting through it and ALSO for sharing on here. You’re an absolute [star emoji] sending energy and positivity [white heart emoji].”

A fifth joined in with: “So happy to hear you;ve had good news. It’s a tough, tough road and after diagnosis you’re never the same. The cold cap is not for the faint hearted! It makes you realise how strong you can be. Well done and best of luck to you.”
