Ms Alcock, who is 47, said she underwent a few different treatments before she was told she would need to undergo a full hysterectomy, which involved the removal of her womb.

The mother-of-one said that at the time she had been planning to have another child and “so it did impact my life greatly, but I’m here to tell the tale and that’s all due to it”.

She added: “I just want to urge every lady out there to please, please, please – it’s imperative that you go for the screening test.

“For those couple of minutes of discomfort or embarrassment it could save your life. It truly did save my life.”

Ms Alcock, who has a 31-year-old son, Danny Jones, said she had shared updates about her cancer journey with friends via social media and they had thanked her for prompting them to book in for their screenings.

She said she also shared a video filmed with her dad, Barry Jones, just after she was given the all clear, when both celebrated by bursting into song and her dad gives her a kiss.

She has gone on to raise more than £73,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support through various fundraising events.
