Talk show legend Trisha Goddard will be undergoing cancer treatment while in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The 67-year-old is joining the likes of Hollywood star Mickey Rourke and EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer in the latest addition to the ITV series.

Trisha was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and was later given the all-clear.

However, in 2022, the cancer returned as stage 4 breast cancer, as Trisha shared this time it's "not going away."

Trisha Goddard to have cancer treatment while on Celebrity Big Brother

The presenter previously shared that she has been asked "every single year" to take part in Celebrity Big Brother but has turned it down.

But she has changed her mind and wants to give the ITV show a go, sharing she wants to show "how you can live successfully with cancer and not be so scared of dying that you become scared of living".

Working with the production team behind Celebrity Big Brother, Trisha and ITV have timed her stay in the house so she can complete treatments without disruptions, according to the Metro.

As Trisha explained: "‘My oncologist is my biggest cheerleader and is working with the Big Brother team.

"I’ve got a special therapist who’s happy to work with the medic on the show.

"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.

"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."

Celebrity Big Brother airs on ITVX and ITV daily at 9pm.
