Hannah Fry has recalled fearing the "sheer terrifying drop of the end of my existence" after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.

The mathematician and broadcaster, 42, recently competed on the second season of The Celebrity Traitors, but was banished after being exposed as a Traitor in the fourth episode.

She has now detailed being diagnosed with cervical cancer six years ago.

In 2020, Fry delayed a cervical screening exam for months, but once she eventually did it, was told cancerous cells had been discovered.
