Beverley Callard Forced to Miss I'm A Celeb Final on Medical Advice
The actress said doctors advised against the trip after surgery for breast cancer that had spread to a lymph node, and she will join by Zoom.
- On Thursday, actress Beverley Callard confirmed she is withdrawing from the Celebrity South Africa live final on medical advice, as doctors deemed it unsafe for the 69-year-old to fly from Ireland to London.
- Callard, known for playing Liz McDonald in Coronation Street, documented her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis received in February and recently underwent surgery this month to remove the disease, which had spread to a lymph node.
- Earlier this week, viewers watched her sudden exit from the camp following a 'funny turn' that she later realized marked the 'start' of her battle with breast cancer, after medics in the Bush Telegraph told her, 'You can't go back.'
- While unable to attend in person, Callard will join fellow campmates via Zoom to 'chat to everyone' while resting and 'doing as I am told,' she said.
- Four celebrities remain for tonight's final: Olympian Sir Mo Farah, Harry Redknapp, Craig Charles, and Adam Thomas compete in the Celebrity South Africa finale airing before a live London audience.
