BBC presenter Rachael Bland has just days to live

Young mum has said her final farewell to fans

BBC journalist Rachael Bland has revealed that she only has days left to live, in a heartbreaking social media post.

The Radio Five Live newsreader was told in May that the breast cancer she had been diagnosed with in November 2016 was incurable.

Referencing Frank Sinatra’s My Way, she wrote: “In the words of the legendary Frank S – I’m afraid the time has come my friends.

“And suddenly. I’m told I’ve only got days. It’s very surreal. Thank you so much for all the support I’ve received.

“Au revoir, my friends.”
