What it actually says is that she was diagnosed following the birth of her daughter. I suppose this misuse of the word "star" to refer to anyone who has been on the telly has led to the word "legend" being used to describe those who have had more of a career in broadcasting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
