It's March 27. Entertainment and celebrity news. Today starts now. AI-powered and trending. Devina McCall, 58, and Jamie Thexton, 55, shared how cancer reshaped their views on death during a recent hard breakfast show. Devina beat a rare brain tumor in 2024 and breast cancer in November 2025. Jamie successfully fought laryngeal cancer two years ago with three surgeries. On the air, Devina described feeling free from the fear of dying, calling it a relief that sparked deep gratitude for her second chance at life. Jamie opened up differently, saying he still dreads it because he wants to watch his kids grow up and meet his grandchildren. Both admitted to Skank Society, that nagging worry before medical checkups, even after positive outcomes. Their candid talk highlighted how health scares force a rethink of priorities. Devina has since cut back on her pack schedule of shows like Big Brother and the Masked Singer. Drawing from past breakthroughs, including recovery from addiction in the early 90s, she's
now focusing on self-care to avoid burnout. These reflections remind us how survival can breed both lingering fears and fresh appreciation, pushing survivors toward healthier paths.
