This comes after she has revealed that she is luckily now cancer free.
She told the publication: “My immune system is always really strong, so I think that made me lazy when it came to checking other things. It’s almost like now I’ve fallen in love with my body a bit more than I was before – I don’t take it for granted as much as I did.

“I’m looking forward to getting to Spain and working out and walking and just taking a breath every now and then. As a working mum, I spent a long time stressing and rushing around and didn’t ever stop to breathe and I’m determined to take that time.”
She is currently waiting to find out whether she’ll need any further preventative cancer treatment such as chemotherapy this year.
Samantha revealed that she is “so grateful to have got it out and to have caught it early, ” but will do whatever she needs to do if it comes back.

The TV star bravely said she has “no fear” of losing her hair and says she’s “determined” to deal with it “elegantly” if she can.
Samantha told fans just five months ago that she had cancer after a random health check led to doctors discovering a “little shadow”.
She told the publication that her treatment is ongoing for breast cancer as she said it was “quite difficult to recover from” and said her first round of chemotherapy was “pretty hardcore”.

Samantha appeared on ITV’s This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to talk about her diagnosis late last year.
She appeared on the ITV morning show last month and praised Holly and Phil for supporting her in the interview, writing: “No two people I’d rather do a personal interview with…
On the show, she said: “I was lucky, it was less than two centimetres, I had a lumpectomy, which is just a piece of tissue removed and five lymph nodes.”
“It’s terrifying at the beginning but if there was ever a time to have it, there are so many new treatments now that are changing the face of cancer, it’s amazing.”
