Sarah Cawood has slammed online trolls who said that a recent interview she did about her cancer diagnosis was 'pointless'.

Sarah - who is now two weeks post lumpectomy said she feels very lucky from all her support from her followers and friends.
Chatting on her phone while waiting to pick up her kids from school she began: 'I am feeling very chipper, people are lovely and I'm completely over last weeks trolling.
'Well they were more like keyboard warriors. I did block one of them.'

The fiery red head went on to explain her reasoning for banning the followers from her page saying: 'The lady that said that my interview was pointless and offensive - do you know why I blocked her? Cause that is bull s**t.
'I have had so many people tell me they have booked mammograms off the back of my diagnosis, so if one of those women get a breast cancer diagnosis how can that be offensive or pointless?
She ranted: 'So f**k you, fuck you and the horse you rode in on. Climb back in your box b**h.'

The video comes after Sarah admitted she dreaded telling her children about her breast cancer diagnosis as the family were still grieving the loss of a friend who had died from the same disease last year aged 33.
Yet while she was determined not to 'catastrophise' her situation she was concerned son Hunter, 10, and daughter Autumn, nine, who she shares with husband Andy Merry would assume she'd suffer the same fate as their family friend.

She explained on an episode of Loose Women last month: 'Because of what happened to Fay last year, she was a school mum friend, and so we were so worried that they would just be like, "Oh well that’s it, mummy’s a goner".
'We explained to them it could be any of these things and what I said was let’s cross those bridges when we come to them.
'I think we all catastrophise too much about life. Why worry about something that hasn’t actually happened yet. Try not to… There’s no point.'

Discussing her diagnosis she recalled: 'I was asked to have another [mammogram] screening and then I smelt a rat. There was a lump in my armpit so they did a biopsy, they were so thorough, I had an MRI. I had a pea sized lump and it was stage one.
'It's the very best result you can get, mine is hormone fed which is less aggressive.'
She continued: I had a lumpectomy last Wednesday and now I’m here. That’s how easy it is. It’s one day. That’s why nobody should be scared. Especially at my stage. It’s really quite straightforward.

'I feel so lucky. I can’t cry into my gin, can I, when I’m Stage 1 and there are other people out there that may be Stage 3 or Stage 4 or they’ve been terminally diagnosed? That would be really unfair of me.
'I want people to get checked and face whatever’s coming down the track head on and be there to help them.'
The presenter previously joked her condition was the 'Carlsberg of breast cancers' in reference to the popular 'if Carlsberg did' advertising campaigns of the early noughties.
She explained: 'I think we all catastrophise too much about life. Why worry about something that hasn’t actually happened yet. Try not to… There’s no point'
She told The Sun: 'The surgeon went, ''Can you see that? That's a very small cancerous lump''. And I went, ''Oh, OK, is it aggressive?''.
'And she said, ''No''.. And I went, ''Brilliant''... I was like, ''OK, so easily fixed?'', and she was like, ''Yes, not really much of a problem.''
'It really is the Carlsberg of breast cancers. If you have to have it, this is the one to have. I feel really lucky.
'There are people that really are up s**t creek without a paddle, who have
