Sinead's battle is only just beginning...

Sinead Tinker and Daniel Osbourne’s future is thrown into even more uncertainty after doctors reveal Sinead’s cancer has spread.

The mum-to-be has been secretly avoiding her chemo appointments in a bid to protect her unborn baby, favouring alternative treatment for her cancer instead after talking to fellow patient, Steff.
