"I had my moles checked, just because I thought it was a good thing to do," Bleakley explained, "and I discovered I had to have three removed."

Bleakley was relieved when the moles removed from her back, leg, and neck later tested clear of cancer.

'It's a funny old thing when you start realising it's not like you're 18 and you think you're going to live forever," she added.

'You start thinking slightly differently and you take a bit more care of yourself.'

The 33-year-old television host is currently preparing for a 5km marathon for Cancer Research UK's Race for Life on July 15.
