Alex Kingston, known for her role in “Doctor Who,” has shared her challenging journey to motherhood. The actress, who battled womb cancer and underwent a hysterectomy and radiotherapy, expressed relief at feeling healthier following the treatments.

In addition to her recent health struggles, Alex reflected on the difficulties she faced with IVF to conceive her daughter, Salome Violetta Haertel, born in 2001. She disclosed undergoing multiple rounds of IVF before successfully becoming pregnant.

Having been married three times, Alex discussed her past fertility issues with her first two husbands. She mentioned her current husband, Jonathan Stamp, highlighting their contrasting personalities and mutual understanding.

Currently competing on “Strictly Come Dancing” with Johannes Radebe, Alex’s performances have garnered praise from the judges. Last weekend, she received her first perfect score of the series for her Rumba, impressing Shirley Ballas. Her Foxtrot during Icons week also received positive feedback.

As the competition continues, another celebrity will bid farewell this evening. Viewers can catch “Strictly Come Dancing: The Results” airing at 7.15pm on BBC One.
