Leah Bracknell on her cancer diagnosis: 'We are all going to go somewhere glorious afterwards, let's hope'

Leah Bracknell said she doesn't want to be confined by the "how long have I got?" question.

"I'm terribly optimistic. I don't see any other way to be," she added.

The 52-year-old has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

Leah starred in Emmerdale from 1989 to 2005.

The actress has set up a fundraising page to help her have treatment in Germany.
