00:00 For a very long time after I had my mastectomy,
00:03 I was--
00:04 I didn't want to look at myself in the mirror
00:06 because it was so different.
00:08 And it wasn't until I did the full Monty,
00:12 even doing the body positive story,
00:14 the campaign that we did on the show,
00:18 that was great to boost my confidence.
00:20 But I was very, very aware that one
00:24 looked different to the other.
00:26 But then I did full Monty with-- the real full Monty
00:28 with Colleen.
00:29 And that was very, very emotional for me
00:31 because I just didn't believe that I was a beautiful woman
00:36 anymore.
00:37 That was what-- I don't know why I keep doing that.
00:40 But it was in speaking with Colleen.
00:43 And as I say, getting that support
00:46 and giving my confidence in that way of saying,
00:48 you are beautiful.
00:49 You do look great.
00:51 And you are who you are.
00:53 And as she said this morning, this is me.
00:56 And so if you can't love yourself,
00:58 Nobody else is... You can't expect anybody else to do it.
