Jean has battled three forms of cancer in the past – kidney, skin and ovarian cancer. Her daughter has previously spoken about her fight against the disease on social media. In July 2015, she told followers: "Mum having 3rd cancer op today but this op is minor compared to the previous ones thankfully. Mum has had a 3lb ovarian tumour removed (miraculously it hadn't spread), then she had kidney cancer so half her right kidney was removed, this time it's a pretty big malignant melanoma, but mum says 'Goodness me, this is nothing. I'll be in and out in no time.' Scans have shown this skin cancer hasn't spread either so we consider ourselves lucky children today."
