This Morning favourite Heather Bone celebrates her 41st birthday with garden party

She has terminal cancer and just months to live

This Morning favourite Heather Bone celebrated her 41st birthday surrounded by friends and family today (June 24).

Heather was recently given just three months to live after her breast cancer spread to her brain.

And she captured the hearts of the nation when she appeared on This Morning earlier this week, winning £2,000 for her “farewell party”.

Heather’s new fans were thrilled that her birthday celebrations could go ahead – with many saying they were happy the sun decided to shine for her big day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Heather what an incredible lady you are hope you have a magical day.

“Hope you have a beautiful day full of blessings,” said one well wisher.

Another added: “Happy birthday beautiful lady.”

A third said: “Hope you have a lovely day and the best party ever.”

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY Heather what an incredible lady you are hope you have a magical day,” said another.

How much has Heather’s GoFundMe page raised now?

Heather’s sister-in-law started the page to raise money for Heather’s big farewell party.

Money raised will also give Heather peace of mind that her teenage sons will be cared for after she’s gone.

As we went to press, the total raised had almost reached £14,000.

That’ll be one hell of a party, Heather!
