British actress Heather Peace has revealed that both she and her wife, Ellie Dickinson, are battling breast cancer, sharing the emotional news amid their simultaneous treatment journeys.
Peace, known for her role in EastEnders, was diagnosed last October with a large tumor requiring a mastectomy, chemo, and radiotherapy. Her wife Ellie was diagnosed earlier with a smaller but aggressive tumor, treated with a lumpectomy and radiotherapy.
The couple, parents to three young children, are navigating treatment while supporting each other and maintaining family life. Peace credited the NHS, her EastEnders team, and her family for their unwavering support, expressing deep gratitude despite the trauma.
