The cheesemonger shared a photo of herself from a hospital bed, accompanied by the caption: "In October 2024, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. It was nothing short of earth-shattering. But we've done our best to keep it as normal as possible for our daughter."
A part of the Sunday Brunch team since 2016, Morgan married Ben Carr just three years ago. Sharing an update on what life has been like for her while battling cancer, Morgan courageously recounted her journey: "Treatment is different for every person.
"No two paths are the same. But here's what happened to me. I was given a week before chemo to get my affairs in order, which included cutting my hair off and undergoing IVF and egg retrieval, something I'm incredibly grateful I was able to do.
"Then came six months of weekly chemotherapy. The hardest thing I've ever done. Some weeks I sat for 13 hours at a time, thanks to my friends who kept me company. And for those who've been through the cold cap, you'll know it's no joke."
Morgan wanted to urge other people to "go and get checked"

Morgan implored: "If even one person sees this and it prompts them to check a lump or get a second opinion, it could save a life. Please trust your gut."
Sunday Brunch is broadcasted every Sunday on Channel 4 from 10am.

'Best sci-fi series in years' has Amazon Prime fans demanding more
The show has seemingly found a new lease of life on Prime Video A sci-fi sensation has been experiencing a resurgence of popularity after making its way onto Prime Video, despite originally airing back in 2014 on Syfy, reports the Express. The series, which consists of a mere six episodes, has captivated new viewers who have been eagerly devouring the show and clamouring for more. One viewer raved on Google Reviews: "One of the very best Sci-Fi shows I've seen in years. Every episode changes what you think is going on and reveals another layer." Another fan left a glowing five-star review on Rotten Tomatoes, saying: "I absolutely loved this. I started this in 2024 without realising it was only one series. I would pay a lot of money to see more or even if they could write a book." A third lamented: "The only tragedy is that it ended with just the mini series..." Meanwhile, another added: "Show has a great hook and really digs in with some interesting stories, good acting and interesting side stories." They continued, highlighting the show's compelling narrative: "The first big hook might seem like something that sets it up for a simple reveal and an unexciting unwinding, but by the end of the season they set enough plots in motion that you are truly excited for the next season." And as yet another viewer put it succinctly: "Best sci-fi I've seen in a while. Good storyline, retains momentum." Heading to IMDb, one devoted fan shared: "I am a science fiction lover and really did enjoy this show, BUT when I see "miniseries" I expect it to end after the 3 parts. That being said I found the story line to be believable and interesting with enough twists and turns to keep it that way." Meanwhile, another enthusiast penned: "Scifi that delivers... finally. As I read some of these other reviews I have to wonder if I watched the same miniseries as they did. This little series was a true gem. It delivered an actual story rather than relying on a ton of (bad) CGI. Something that doesn't happen in this genre much anymore." They continued: "The entire concept was fascinating. The shocking reveal at the end of hour 2 was perfectly played." The reviewer added: "The characters are believable. The 60's environment frozen it time is fantastic. The conspiracy theorists websites and people were spot on! Loved it. This however, is a series for thinkers." Concluding with a cheeky jab, they noted: "If you need to turn your brain off to enjoy a series Ascension will not be for you. I'd suggest Transformers (gag)." Ascension originally premiered more than a decade ago, but streaming platforms have breathed fresh life into the production. The enigmatic series centred on a spacecraft 50 years into its voyage, following its clandestine launch during the 1960s amid Cold War tensions and the fierce Space Race competition. The USS Ascension, a generational spaceship, was midway through its century-long voyage to Proxima Centauri with the aim of colonising a new world and safeguarding humanity's future. But the mission took a dark turn when a murder on board threw the crew into disarray as they frantically tried to solve the crime. Doubts about their mission's true intent began to surface among the crew as they delved deeper into the mystery. The series boasted a stellar cast including Tricia Helfer of Battlestar Galactica and Lucifer, Gil Bellows from The Shawshank Redemption, Brian Van Holt known for Cougar Town, Andrea Roth of Rescue Me, and Brandon P. Bell from Dear White People. Despite a clamour for more episodes from Ascension enthusiasts, the US network SyFy dashed hopes by confirming the show would not continue beyond its initial run. Their 2015 statement read: "We were very happy with Ascension as an event series, but with so much high profile development in the works, we have decided not to pursue a full series."
