Sarah Beeny gave a joint protest with her husband Graham Swift on Friday as she underwent surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes.
The 51-year-old TV presenter previously revealed in a candid new interview that her marriage is ‘hanging on’ after her battle with breast cancer.
In April 2023 she was released and in June she released her documentary Sarah Beeny Against Cancer, detailing her cancer story, including her double mastectomy.
This week, Sarah underwent further operations after testing positive for the PALB2 gene mutation, as she shared a photo of herself and Graham embracing outside the hospital.
She gave her fans an update on Instagram, writing: “Turns out it’s a minor day surgery to remove my ovaries and fallopian tubes as a final check after testing positive for the Palb2 gene.”

She added: “Not quite the walk in the park I was expecting and doing smart things – I don’t feel as happy as I did when G showered me this morning… x”
The gene called PALB2, which was only discovered in 2006, increases the risk of breast cancer if it is mutated, as do the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2.
Earlier this week, Reflecting on her relationship with artist Graham, who took a break from his lucrative art career to work on renovating their former dairy farm, Sarah said they both admit they stayed together because of their teenage children.
They share four children, sons Billy (18), Charlie (16), Rafferty (14) and Laurie (12).
Sarah admitted on the Medium podcast with Gabby Logan: “We’re just going to hold on to our fingernails. I mean, it’s not easy, is it?
“Graham used to say, ‘The day we have to work on our marriage, I’m leaving.’ ‘ And I thought, ‘Really?’ But to be honest, I think he had to work on it.”
The star then admitted: ‘I was particularly terrible because I’ve been a bit terrible over the years, to be honest.’
“I was especially terrible and he said, ‘You know, the thing is Sarah, you’re not ready to let your kids go half the time, and neither am I, so we’re staying together.’ ‘
“And we stay together happily or unhappily, so what would you like?” And I thought, Oh, that’s pretty bleak, isn’t it?
“He said, ‘You want to be happy or unhappy, because we’re still going to live together anyway’, so I thought, ‘Okay, then we’re going to be happy, okay?’ He said, ‘What a good idea.’
“Maybe you should be a little nicer?” I thought, ‘yes, I will.’ So logical, right? ‘
