The Topp Twins Dame Lynda and Dame Jools hold a special place in all of our hearts thanks to their humour, songs and unforgettable characters such as Camp Mother and Camp Leader, Ken and Ken, and the Gingham Sisters.
But recently times have been tough for the sisters, both 65, as they each deal with cancer diagnoses which have left them struggling to live the joyful lives they’re renowned for. But thanks to their relentless positivity, they are managing it.
It’s been nearly 20 years since Jools was first diagnosed with breast cancer and she says she’s never let it slow her down.
“Every day above ground is a good day,” says Jools. “There’s this life we’re living, and we’re supposed to live it and to try to do the best we can. I’ve lived with my cancer for nearly 20 years and I’ve never let it stop me. Not once. No way.”
