Property show presenter shared that she was appearing on Celebrity Bake Off Stand Up to Cancer special for a heartfelt reason. The Britain's Best Home host, 53, opened up on her own battle with cancer.

She shared her reasoning for appearing on the programme, which aims to raise funds for cancer patients and treatments, as she explained: "I am here to support . Having being impacted with cancer myself, I learnt a lot when I was diagnosed with it. Cancer treatment has come on so far. Compared to where it was, it's amazing. Compared to where it is going, it will be even more amazing."

The programme, which saw Sarah joined by Roman Kemp, Maxine Peake and Amelia Dimoldenberg as they baked to impress the judges, also featured other stories from people who had been impacted by cancer. Fans at home were left feeling emotional by the shared stories.

Taking to Twitter/X, one wrote: "Just heartbreaking #GBBO." Another echoed: "These stories are just heart breaking. #GBBO."

One more penned: "I have a very close friend going through a cancer journey right now. Seeing Sarah Beeny looking so beautiful and healthy gives me hope. #SU2C #GBBO."

Sarah was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2022 and underwent gruelling chemotherapy, as well as a double mastectomy, before receiving the all-clear in 2023.

Previously speaking about the advancements in treatment, the broadcaster said: "I'm very lucky, I had a very fortunate diagnosis. I'm fortunate that people like my mother, who died when I was 10, died and they did the research. She won't see her grandchildren, but she died so I can see mine."

Sarah added: "I would like to see the amount of resources and efforts put towards finding a cure for brain tumour as has been done for breast cancer. I'm not saying it's always a good story, but it's a lot better than it was 30 years ago."

The TV star documented her cancer journey in a documentary. She later said: "It feels like years ago now, but when I was diagnosed with cancer and then I made the documentary, I realised that the most important message out there is: the earlier the diagnosis, the better the outcome.

"I can't tell you how many people I met on that journey who thought they had cancer and so didn't go to the doctor. We base our terrible fears of cancer - fears I think everybody has - on the outcome of somebody a long time ago, and cancer treatment moves on so fast because it's so amazing and the research is so brilliant and absolutely crucial.

"The more we all talk about it, the more people won't go: 'Oh, I think I might have cancer. I'll pretend I don't.' They'll go to the doctor because, actually, treatments now are mind-blowing compared to 10 years ago.

"Making my documentary is probably in my top proudest things that I've done. I felt if one person watches it and feels better at the end of it, then that's good."
