Michaela Strachan has candidly discussed her 'shocker' of a year after three devastating losses and a battle with breast cancer.
The Springwatch, webtoon (oregairu.net) Autumnwatch and Winterwatch presenter, 57, was diagnosed at the beginning of 2014 after a routine mammogram, but went on to make a full recovery after a double mastectomy which was followed by reconstructive surgery.
She then struggled with grief after losing her sister-in-law, and two of her close friends lost children.
Michaela has now signed up to take part in the new series of Pilgrimage on BBC Two.
Speaking to the Express after filming the show, Michaela said: 'These were people our age. I know I'm getting on but I'm 57 - I shouldn't know this number of people who have died.
