Today, as Katrina reunited with Leo and Jane on This Morning, the star admitted the extent of her 22-year battle with cancer
AIRLINE star Katrina Leeder has revealed she’s had cancer SEVEN times on This Morning.
She appeared on today’s show to reunite with her co-stars Leo Jones and Jane Boulton for the first time.
Rylan Clark-Neal, who is a huge fan of the show, told viewers Katrina was incredibly shy.
He recalled her battling cancer four times previously to which she then made her shocking confession.
Katrina, who has twin daughters Freya and Clarissa, explained: “I am fine now. But I’ve had cancer seven times now.
“I’ve lost seven organs. I live each day as it comes now. My girls are the ones who keep me going.”
Katrina was inundated with support from fans, with one telling their Twitter followers: “What an amazing inspiration #Katrina is. To fight #cancer not only twice but 7 TIMES!!”
Another fan of the show tweeted: “So lovely to see the crew from airline! Katrina we love you!”
A third said: “Favourite TV moment of the year so far... Airline reunion on @thismorning Quite emotional!”
After Airline ended in 2006, Katrina battled cancer on and off after first being diagnosed at just 16 years old.
She has lost a kidney, her spleen, part of a lung, part of her diaphragm, half her stomach, her gallbladder and 70 per cent of her liver, but has never given up.
Katrina was joined on the show by supervisor Leo who's now a dad-of-two.
He stayed at EasyJet until March 2018 and ended up being promoted to become a regional manager.
Jane went for a complete career U-turn and now works as a childminder.
She also runs her own business called Party Paradise UK, which provides entertainment and cake for kids’ parties.
