Corrie star urges women to check for cancer monthly after double mastectomy

Coronation Street star Victoria Ekanoye is continuing to raise awareness for breast cancer, following her own diagnosis and double mastectomy.

The actress, who played Angie Appleton in the ITV soap, fell unwell with the illness last year.

Victoria, 39, revealed that she first discovered a lump when her son, Theo, was nine months old, and subsequently had an ultrasound, where the doctors thought she had a benign lump.

‘I just didn’t feel great about [it]’, she told OK! magazine at the time, revealing that she then ‘went for a second opinion,’ as she did not want to leave it to ‘chance’.

Victoria saw a consultant and after a series of tests, she was diagnosed with DCIS – Ductal carcinoma in situ.
