Sally Whittaker: 'I'm raring to go'

Coronation Street star Sally Whittaker has revealed that she is "raring to go" after completing her breast cancer treatment.

The actress returned to her role as Weatherfield's Sally Webster last week after taking time off work to battle her illness.

Speaking on GMTV this morning, Whittaker confirmed: "I'm doing really well - I'm really, really well. I've got through it all, it's been six months but I'm through it and I'm really well.

"And I'm back to work and I'm raring to go - I can't tell you. Nobody can keep me down!"

The 46-year-old also encouraged other women to stay vigilant against cancer by seeking help if they suspect anything is wrong.

She said: "Any woman, who's got anything that you are slightly worried about, go and get it checked out - because I never thought this would happen to me."

Whittaker's return to Coronation Street will air in July.
