The star, who is best known for playing Ronnie Mitchell in BBC soap EastEnders, told OK! magazine that she keeps bursting into tears because she is so happy.
Former EastEnders star Samantha Womack has said she is free from breast cancer, five months after being diagnosed and having undergone chemotherapy.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Womack, who is best known for playing Ronnie Mitchell in the BBC soap EastEnders up until 2017, said that she is"very thankful for [her] life". Appearing alongside her partner, and former Coronation Street actor Oliver Farnworth, Womack said that her diagnosis and treatment has been a"rollercoaster," and has meant that she has had to take time away from the West End production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which she is currently starring in.
"I had surgery quite quickly, a lumpectomy and now I am just having some treatments while I go back to work, as a kind of prevention," she said. In another part of the interview, Womack said:"I feel very thankful for my life. I know that sounds crazy, but it's almost like I can see the beauty in everything now - like everything feels special.Chris Jared and Samantha Womack in costume for The Lion, the Witch and the WardrobeMore on Eastenders
