Springwatch presenter Michaela Strachan, 59, has revealed she feared the worst and underwent cancer tests after eagle-eyed viewers spotted a “lump” on her throat.
Michaela, speaking this week on Kaye Adams’ How to be 60 podcast, shared that the scare happened in 2019, when she was filming the series alongside Chris Packham in Scotland.
The presenter had previously been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014. She underwent a double mastectomy as part of her treatment and was given the all-clear. However, just five years later, Michaela was back in hospital for tests.
Michaela Strachan’s breast cancer diagnosis
In 2014, Michaela was diagnosed with breast cancer. The diagnosis came after a routine mammogram.
The diagnosis came as a shock to the presenter, as she described in a candid interview with the Mail on Sunday: “The tears started to roll as my doctor tried to tell me what would happen next, but I only took in every fifth word or so. The one word that registered was cancer.
