Nicki Chapman reveals she can't talk about her brain tumour ordeal without crying and locks memories of her health woes in a mental 'filing cabinet'


Nicki Chapman has revealed that she can't talk about her brain tumour ordeal without crying.

The presenter, 57, has told in a poignant new interview that she locks memories of her health woes in a mental 'filing cabinet' in order to deal with her feelings. Nicki explained that was her relief at being told she could survive - and she was even willing to accept losing the sight of one eye in return if necessary - but still re-did her will the day before her operation. Nicki had first realised she was ill while working on the BBC property programme Escape to the Country when she went to do a voice-over and couldn't remember the name of the executive producer, who she had known for 15 years.
