British television presenter and chef Lisa Faulkner has announced she will undergo radiotherapy treatment following a recent breast cancer diagnosis and major surgery.
The 54-year-old actress revealed that medical professionals successfully removed early-stage cancerous tissue during an operation two weeks ago, after a routine NHS mammogram screening.

Faulkner shared the news on Instagram, confirming that post-operative results showed no remaining cancer tissue.
"I know I've been very quiet on here, reason being I have had to have surgery for the early stages of breast cancer," she wrote.
"I had surgery two weeks ago, it was quite a big op but it's all good and I've my results back and they've got everything out."
"So it's all clear and I just need now to have some radiotherapy in a few weeks," she added.
"I just wanted to say I've got a bit of healing to do but I'm good."
Faulkner expressed gratitude for early detection and urged the public not to delay medical screenings.
"I just wanted to say don't put them off, go, because they found this and without that mammogram it wouldn't have been picked up," she said.

"Thank you to our wonderful NHS and the fact we can have these mammograms and we can get treatment early," she added.
