Beverley Callard Leaves I’m A CelebritySouth Africa On Medical Grounds

She is recovering from early-stage breast cancer surgery, with US test results pending to set her next treatment.

Overview

  • Beverley Callard, who disclosed her departure on Tuesday’s episode, said medics told her she could not return to camp.
  • At home she reports heavy fatigue after overdoing house decorating, and her husband Jon McEwan is handling day-to-day tasks.
  • The series was pre-recorded last September, and she says she plans to attend the live final on Friday, April 24.
  • Doctors say surgery removed the breast tumour, and testing found cancer in only the first of three lymph nodes.
  • The node sample is being tested in the United States to gauge aggressiveness, with results due in about two weeks to decide whether she starts chemotherapy or moves to radiotherapy.
