Sarah Beeny has her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed amid cancer battle as she puts on a united display with husband Graham Swift before surgery after revealing marriage was ‘hanging on by our fingernails’
Sarah Beeny gave a joint demonstration with her husband Graham Swift on Friday as she underwent surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes.
The TV presenter, 51, previously revealed their marriage was ‘hanging by the fingernails’ following her battle with breast cancer in a candid new interview.
In April 2023 she was released and in June she released her documentary Sarah Beeny vs. Cancer, which detailed her cancer journey, including her double mastectomy.
This week, Sarah underwent further surgery after testing positive for the PALB2 gene mutation when she shared a photo of herself and Graham embracing outside the hospital.
She gave her fans an update on Instagram, writing: “It turns out to be a minor day surgery to remove my ovaries and fallopian tubes as a final check after a positive test for the PALB2 gene.”

She added: ‘Not quite the walk in the park I expected and doing smart things – I’m not feeling as happy as I did when G dropped me this morning… x’
Earlier this week, Sarah has reflected on her relationship with artist Graham, who took a break from his lucrative art career to work on renovating their former dairy farm, and said they have both admitted they have stayed together for their teenage children.
They share four children, sons Billy, 18, Charlie, 16, Rafferty, 14, and Laurie, 12.
Speaking about the The Mid.Point Podcast with Gabby Logan, Sarah admitted: “We’re just going to hang on there by our fingernails. I mean, it’s not easy, right?
“Graham always said, ‘The day we have to work on our marriage, I’m leaving.’ And I thought, ‘Really?’ But to be honest, I think he had to work on it.”
The star then admitted: ‘I was particularly terrible, because I’ve been a bit terrible at times over the years, to be honest.
“I was particularly awful and he said, ‘You know, the thing is Sarah, you’re not willing to leave and have your kids half the time, and neither am I, so we’re staying together.’
“And we stay together happily or unhappily, so what would you like it to be?” And I thought, oh, that’s pretty dark, isn’t it?
“He said, ‘You want to be happy or unhappy, because either way, we’re still going to live together,’ so I thought, ‘Okay, then we’ll be happy, okay?’ he said, ‘what a good idea.
“Maybe you should be a little nicer?” I thought, ‘Yes, I will.’ So logical, right?’
