A PET cat saved his owner’s life when he detected a lump in her stomach that turned out to be ovarian cancer.

Gill Kelly, 53, assumed her bloating and sudden bouts of exhaustion were down to the menopause.

But when her moggy Humbug leapt on to her stomach as she lay in bed one night, she realised the agonising pain was a sign of something more sinister. Gill visited her GP the next day and the doctor immediatel­y suspected the worst.

She said: “I was lucky. I caught it early enough that when I was diagnosed, I was only at stage 1A.”

Fashion

Now the former model has been asked to return to the catwalk for a charity fashion show that will raise money for ovarian cancer charity Ovacome, which supported both Gill and her mum who died from the disease after a sevenyear battle.

The mother of two from Huddersfie­ld in West Yorks said: “I’d done modelling from the age of 10 to 18, but I never expected to return to such a fashion.

“But now I get to do it in memory of my lovely mum.”

Gill’s lump was removed at St James’s University Hospital in Leeds and she was told that she would not need any further treatments apart from monthly blood tests and check-ups at the Macmillan Unit at Calderdale Royal Hospital.

She added: “Ovacome helped me deal with the emotions and I’m able to see how lucky I was that there was life after diagnosis – I just can’t believe it was all thanks to a cat.” it in
