'It's a very strange feeling to read that you're dead,' she said of the vicious rumours which were started by Radar Online.
'...So I thought well I've got to make light of this because this is just going to continue on and get worse and worse so that's when I did the video saying the reports of my death were greatly exaggerated... I'm still here and doing great.
'I'm doing really well. In fact I just had some tests done and I'm doing great thank you... My dream is that we'll see an end to cancer in my lifetime.'
