TikTok star who documented stage 4 brain cancer journey dies at 19
Anna Grace Phelan, a young TikTok star who documented her stage 4 brain cancer journey, died Friday, according to a message posted to her TikTok account. She was 19. "It is with great sadness to announce that our beautiful daughter, Anna Grace Phelan, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ," a statement from her family read. Phelan, of Jefferson, Georgia, shared updates on her health with more than 100,000 followers, garnering millions of views on her videos. "So many of you have followed her journey through a difficult battle with cancer and bore witness to her powerful testimony of faith," the post read. Phelan graduated high school in May 2024, and days before starting her freshman year of college, was diagnosed with an inoperable stage 4 malignant brain tumor, a GoFundMe for her states. She first took to TikTok in August to share a medical update, saying in a video she began having a myriad of symptoms, starting with numbness in the left side of her face and right leg for several weeks. An MRI revealed a lesion on her brain that was biopsied to determine if it was cancerous. Phelan posted an update video stating that on Sept. 5, she was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain tumor. "This is definitely the hardest news I've ever received by all means," she said in the video. "This is not easy. I'm just going to trust in the Lord and try to keep pushing forward." She continued to post about her medical journey, from her radiation and steroid treatments to physical therapy. On May 14, in one of her last update videos, Phelan said her health had taken a turn for the worse, and her tumor had grown, making her unable to be operated on. "It would take a miracle to fix me here on earth, but I'm not giving up yet," she said. Phelan was working as a receptionist at Georgia Skin Cancer and Aesthetic Dermatology, according to her obituary. She is survived by her parents, William 'Buddy' and Nadine Phelan, a brother, Harper David Phelan, and other family members. A funeral service will be held Thursday at Galilee Christian Church, of which Anna Phelan was a member. "Thank you for the countless thousands of prayers for healing and peace," her family said in a statement. This article was originally published on

Internet star Anna Grace Phelan dies at 19 from brain cancer
A 19-year-old TikTok star has died of brain cancer after revealing she was battling the illness just eight months ago. Anna Grace Phelan's death was confirmed Saturday in a message on her TikTok page. 'It is with great sadness to announce that our beautiful daughter, Anna Grace Phelan, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,' the message said. 'So many of you have followed her journey through a difficult battle with cancer and bore witness to her powerful testimony of faith. 'Thank you for the countless thousands of prayers for healing and peace. May we all rejoice with the assurance that she is in Heaven now, and she has been healed.' According to Phelan's obituary, her funeral service will be held on Thursday in Jackson County, Georgia, the New York Post reported. Phelan is survived by her parents, William 'Buddy' Phelan and Nadine Phelan, brother Harper David Phelan and more family members. The influencer revealed to her followers last September that she was battling brain cancer. Her diagnosis came days before she was due to start her first year of college. In a previous TikTok video, Phelan explained that her initial symptoms included numbness in the left side of her face and in the right side of her leg. That led to her scheduling an MRI which showed a lesion on her brain. 'I started losing my balance,' she told her followers. 'I started having vision problems in my left eye, my numbness in my face and on my leg is still here. My speech started to seem weird. My head's very foggy.' After undergoing a biopsy, Phelan learned she had a tumour. She was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain cancer that grows rapidly and is incurable. 'This is definitely the hardest news I've ever received,' she said in a TikTok video in September. 'By all means, this is not easy. Just going to trust in the Lord and try and keep pushing forward.' Phelan continued to document her cancer battle on TikTok in the months leading up to her death. In one of her final videos shared May 14, Phelan said, 'Things haven't been good. My tumour grew and it's in the area where I can't breathe. It can't be operated.' 'So, I just wanted to say thank you for all the prayers,' she continued. 'It would take a miracle, but I'm not giving up yet. If you keep praying for me, I think that I'll make it.' GoFundMe for Phelan was started after her diagnosis. The page has raised over $100,000.

Blue Peter hosts Shini Muthukrishnan and Joel Mawhinney ‘secretly dating for a year' after ‘hitting it off instantly'
BLUE Peter presenters Shini Muthukrishnan and Joel Mawhinney have found love while co-hosting the beloved children's TV show. Shini, 22, and Joel, 25, have been working together on the BBC show since the former joined the cast in January last year. 3 Sources reported the pair are "practically living together" after immediately hitting it off. "Shini and Joel hit it off instantly and became great friends before anything romantic happened between them," an unnamed source told Daily Mail. "They keep their work and personal lives completely separate and are the consummate professionals on set. "They've been very discreet but a lot of people working on the show know about their off-screen relationship." The source said the pair was "totally gorgeous together" and could maybe "become the hot new couple on the celebrity circuit in the coming months." The Sun contacted BBC representatives by email on Sunday morning for comment. Shini was a huge TikTok star when she cast as a presenter on the world's longest-running children's TV show. She had just recently graduated from studying philosophy, politics and economics at King's College London, when she joined the existing Blue Peter team of Abby Cook, Joel, and Henry the Dog. Speaking of her excitement at landing the role, Shini said in 2024: 'Being part of the Blue Peter team is such a surreal and exciting feeling. It's my first time on the big screen and I can't wait for all the adventures to come!' 'I have really fond memories of Blue Peter, Helen [Skelton] and Barney [Harwood] were my era. As a kid, I looked up to Helen Skelton, she seemed fearless on screen. Iconic show Blue Peter in major shake-up after six decades "She took on incredible challenges with such a headstrong attitude that made me think I can be fearless too.' The Stafford-born star has been described as a perfect fit for the role by the BBC thanks to her love of reading, books, adventure and sport. Shini received her first Blue Peter badge with participation in a dazzling aircraft aerobatics challenge. But hasn't been all good news over at Blue Peter with BBC axing airing live episodes of the beloved show, leaving devastated staff reeling from the shock move. At its peak, the show, which has been a mix of live and pre-recorded shows in recent years, attracted 8 million views. A spokeswoman told The Sun: 'The programme will not be online only, but on CBBC, sign zone, BBC2 and iPlayer. It was for a long time, broadcast from MediaCityUK in Salford, and aired on digital TV channel CBBC on Fridays at 5 p.m. But BBC bosses assured fans that it was not a death knell for Blue Peter, as pre-recorded shows will continue to air on CBBC, Sign Zone, BBC2 and iPlayer.
