Trisha Goddard previously shared how she will keep up with her palliative cancer treatment while inside the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The TV legend, 67, has joined the likes of Patsy Palmer, Chris Hughes and Angellica Bell, who are all fighting it out to win this year’s series of the ITV show – which kicked off on Monday (April 7).
However, Trisha is sadly battling terminal breast cancer. And, before heading into the house, Trisha revealed how her doctors plan to keep up with her treatment.

Trisha’s cancer battle began when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. She was later given the all-clear.
However, in 2022, Trisha was told that the cancer returned as stage 4 breast cancer. The mum of two revealed that this time it’s “not going away”.
And in a bid to live life to the fullest, Trisha has signed up for this year’s series of CBB. The presenter made her debut on the show on Monday night.
Before walking into the house, Trisha told everyone that she wanted to show “how you can live successfully with cancer and not be so scared of dying that you become scared of living”.

In an interview before her CBB stint, Trisha spoke about how she will continue her palliative cancer treatment.
Chatting to the Mirror, she shared that her oncologist – who she called her “biggest cheerleader” – and special therapist are working with the Big Brother team and medic and regarding her treatment.
“My palliative care team – and when I say that word everybody screams and runs away, but it’s symptom treatment – is working with the team here too,” Trisha said.

The TV star, who will have her own room in the house, also went on to reveal that once CBB is over, she is “jumping on a plane” to have an infusion.
Trisha added: “And then when it comes to my treatment, I had one infusion on Monday. So I’ve got to jump on a plane and go straight back to have the next one as soon as the show is over.
“I’ve got a bag full of meds that I normally have which will be with me in the house. So my oncologist has planned my treatment around the production schedule.”
