The 50-year-old, who hosted the show from 2006 to 2009, took to Instagram to share the difficult news with her followers.

Addressing her followers, Samantha said: "I have some health news that I need to share that I never thought I would be sharing again in my lifetime.
"I have a recurrence of breast cancer and I feel so fortunate to have been able to guide, support, and lead so many of you in your healthiest healthy community and I will continue to do so."
She added: "I will fight on and I will be okay.
"I am so grateful for my family and my close friends and as I lean on them I also reach out to lean on you during this time."
Samantha concluded: "I will continue to share more as my treatment plan unravels and I'll see you soon."
Her followers were quick to send well wishes to Samantha, with one responding: "Samantha, you've been such a positive influence for this community and encouraging others and we will continue to do the same for you."
A second said: "You're the strongest person I know and I couldn't be more proud of you or love you more than I already do!" A third added: "Just another hurtle you’ll overcome!!"

Explaining her reason for undergoing the surgery, Samantha told Entertainment Tonight at the time: "I was sick of feeling the way that I did in the days after the diagnosis. I knew I needed to take control."
She also credited fellow E! News host and breast cancer survivor Giuliana Rancic for helping her through her cancer journey.

She added: "Giuliana and all of the women that I have come to talk to that are survivors have been tremendously supportive and generous and have guided me on this very scary and rocky road."
