Trisha Goddard expected to join Celebrity Big Brother amid cancer battle

Trisha Goddard, the former talk show host, is set to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house while battling stage 4 breast cancer, which she was re-diagnosed with in February 2024, 16 years after her initial diagnosis in 2008. She has expressed her determination to continue enjoying life despite her terminal diagnosis, stating, 'I must keep enjoying what I have always enjoyed.' Goddard revealed that she chose to go public with her condition after feeling the burden of secrecy became too heavy. While she is excited about her participation in the reality show, she has shared concerns about how people perceive her due to her illness. The show will premiere on April 7, and she will join other celebrities, including Patsy Palmer and JoJo Siwa. Goddard's candidness about her health journey reflects her desire to maintain her identity beyond being seen as a cancer patient.
