Lorraine Kelly Announces Death of Heather Sawyer

Lorraine Kelly paused her ITV show to announce the death of Heather Sawyer, a member of the Change + Check Choir, who died at the age of 50 from secondary breast cancer. Heather was part of a choir formed to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Lorraine's breast cancer awareness campaign, which debuted a song in collaboration with singer Joss Stone. Her illness had spread to her brain in her final days, leading to her transfer to a hospice where she passed away peacefully. Dr. Hilary, who appeared with Lorraine, highlighted Heather's contributions and used the occasion to promote breast self-examinations. Heather's death, announced by her husband on social media, prompted a flood of tributes from those whose lives she touched, with her family expressing gratitude for the support received.
