EXCLUSIVE RHOC star Ester Dee opens up about cervical cancer scare: ‘It’s been horrendous’
She’s known for being outrageous, feisty and straight-talking. But Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Ester Dee has laid bare her vulnerable side as she recovers from a cancer scare following years of failing to attend routine smear tests.
“I’ve been invited for a smear test numerous times but have always ignored the letters thinking there was no family history of cancer, that nothing could happen to me and that I was invincible. “I Googled it and immediately started panicking that I was going to die,” she says. “I thought of my little girl and cried to my mum saying how could I have been so stupid. I just felt completely devastated. I called the doctor and they made me an emergency appointment for a smear test which I had the next day.

Ester issued a direct appeal to anyone who might be putting off their smear and urged them to make an appointment. “Please, please don’t ignore your letter. Don’t be an idiot like me. We are all human and cancer can happen to anyone. If reading the story of this crazy woman from the Czech Republic helps even one person, then I’ll be happy.
One of the very good things in Ester’s life is partner Glynn, 55 – a retired businessman who she has been with for three years. She splits her time between her home in Anglesey and his place in Gibraltar and he has been a huge support through the difficult few months she’s had.
