She stresses that anybody can get cervical cancer.

 



And I don't deny if somebody says, if they ask questions about cancer, I don't tell them it was some other cancer. I don't feel unable to say it. And in fact I feel quite the other way round, I want to tell people that it can happen to quite normal people. I think Edwina Currie had sort of , linked it to that perhaps if people didn't smoke, didn't sleep around then they wouldn't sort of get these things. And I wanted to almost counteract that by saying I've been in a monogamous relationship since the age of 19, I'm still with the guy, we have a very normal sexual life and it can happen to anybody, if you have one partner it can happen to you.
