Instead of having much needed surgery, Cheryl has chosen to follow her TV dream.
You’d never guess it by looking at her as she polishes and paints on The Block, but contestant Cheryl is hiding a deadly secret. Just days before entering the house, the 28-year-old real estate agent from Melbourne was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst her doctor suspected might be cancerous.
Cheryl was shattered when told the news after a routine health check and advised her to seek immediate medical treatment.
But not wanting to forgo her dream of being part of The Block, she explained that she was set to fly to Sydney to start filming the reality TV series.
Against advice, Cheryl chose to take her chances and move into The Block, where she’s putting in 16-hour days of backbreaking renovation work.
“I was supposed to have an operation straight away, but I asked if I could wait until after the show,” she says.
