Michelle Heaton & Husband Hugh Hanley get behind the @imperfectlyperfectcampaign global efforts and next week see’s an incredible chat with them both sharing their story on the ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast with founder Glenn Marsden and Rachael Newsham around Michelle’s battle having had to face some serious health challenges over the past few years, including undergoing a double mastectomy, breast reconstruction a hysterectomy and heart problems, and how she has managed to get through everything with the support of Hugh and her family. We find out how it affected Hugh being a partner watching his loved one struggle and how it impacted him also.

We are truly grateful for Michelle and Hugh getting behind our global efforts in changing the narrative around mental health and sharing their story which will help so many others out there that may be going through similar things.

A quick snippet of the chat with Michelle and Hugh telling us what it means being Imperfectly Perfect to them.

‘To me you have to allow ourselves not to be perfect. Because I always wanted to be perfect, to be the best I can be, and I still do want to be the best I can be and do and the best mum. But I’m never going to be right. Because no-one is right. Nobody is perfect and the more that we understand that and give ourselves a break the better we will be.’ - @wonderwomanshel

‘For me, it is around trying to be the perfect husband. Help Michelle and be her strength because, like she said she has an awful lot of health issues going on there and she’s been through for the last 10 years so much health struggles like hysterectomy, mastectomy, heart surgery, a pancreas issue. That’s a lot to take in, in 10 years for one person plus giving birth to two children. So for me personally, it’s trying to be a perfect husband, a good husband.’ @hughhanley

Michelle Christine Heaton is an English pop singer, actress and television personality.

She was a member of the British Pop Group Liberty X that went on to gain International Recognition.

She has had a widely documented battle with her health since her time in the band, having been diagnosed with the mutated BRCA2 gene in 2012.

The star discovered she had an 80 per cent chance of developing breast cancer and 30 per cent chance of developing ovarian cancer, so opted to have a double mastectomy and breast reconstructive surgery.

In 2015 she underwent a complete hysterectomy and oophorectomy to reduce her risk of developing ovarian cancer.

She bravely revealed her surgery scars for the first time during an appearance on the British day time talk show ‘Loose Women’ and has spoken poignantly of her thanks for the NHS heroes who saved her life.
