Sarah Beeny's life from tragic loss and cancer diagnosis to unique tradition with husband

Sarah Beeny, the property guru who has been a staple on British TV for years, is known for her expert advice on shows like Property Ladder and How to Live Mortgage Free. The star is back on our screens with Channel 4's Sarah Beeny's New Life in the Country, which follows her family's move to Somerset over five years ago. However, behind the scenes, Beeny has faced personal battles. In August 2022, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
After a difficult year of treatment, including a mastectomy and intensive radiotherapy and chemotherapy, she joyfully announced she was cancer-free in April 2023. Speaking to OK! magazine, Beeny praised her husband Graham for being her constant support during her illness, saying: "There are bumps along the way in life and marriage – it's not all plain sailing. But during my cancer treatment, Graham was absolutely as I'd expected him to be – great, because he's a good man.".
She continued: "I don't have a husband who will come in with tea trays, I don't have a butler! But I don't want one, I'd find that annoying. Whenever he's needed to step up, he's stepped up, and that was one of those times.". She previously discussed her unique relationship with husband Graham Swift in a candid chat with Prima Magazine. She revealed they have a quirky way of expressing their love and, despite their strong connection, never actually said "I love you" to each other. It became a tradition that started as a playful response to friends who would throw around the phrase too casually.
