Former Casualty star Rebekah Gibbs has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The actress, who played paramedic Nina Farr in the BBC medical drama until 2006, underwent surgery on Wednesday to have a lump removed.

She first noticed it while seven months pregnant with daughter Gigi, who was born 11 weeks ago.

She wrote on her Mirror blog before the surgery: "By the time you read this, I will be lying on an operating table as surgeons try to cut out a lump from my breast.

"It's a fairly small lump really, about the size of a walnut, but it is doing a great job of trying to screw up my life at the moment."

The 35-year-old revealed that she was given her final diagnosis last week, writing: "First a male doctor asked me gravely: 'What do you know about cancer? I think you've got it.' Two days later a cancer specialist nurse told me gently that his hunch had been right.

"She didn't use the word aggressive, but I know that it is. I don't need to look up statistics on the internet to know I may not make it."

She added that she had saved some mementos for her daughter while she was still pregnant, saying: "I packed up boxes of photos, keepsakes and memories as a legacy for my unborn baby, I wanted to have my things in order. I just didn't imagine I'd need to do it so soon."

This is so sad to hear, especially when this should be such a happy time for Rebekka and her family. Let's hope she makes a full and speedy recovery.

Coleen McLoughlin has been axed by Asda as the face of its George fashion range.

The girlfriend of footballer Wayne Rooney will reportedly be replaced by French model Carla Bruni.

According to The Sun, Asda was impressed by Bruni during her recent visit to the UK with her husband President Nicolas Sarkozy.

A spokesperson said: "Among the names being considered is Carla Bruni. She’s very attractive and a highly stylish person. We feel she would fit in very well with the George look."

Speaking about McLoughlin's departure, brand director Fiona Lambert said: "Coleen has been a fantastic ambassador for us, but we want to show that our core fashions are for everyone.

"We have been chasing younger customers rather than people who shop at Asda week-in, week-out - namely mums and dads who buy their clothing during the weekly shopping trip."

I don't even know who she is. God knows why the autobiography is aimed at. I doubt young children or teens will understand or want to read it.
