Julia Bradbury opened up about undergoing a mastectomy after breast cancer diagnoses last year.

The Countryfile host, took part in an upcoming ITV program which documented her journey.

In her new interview the brave star revealed how she felt before and after the surgery.

She told, “At that point  and I think this is a moment that every woman who has had a mastectomy will share  I had never felt so lost, so out of control and so deeply sad.

“The shape of me, as I knew it when I looked in the mirror, was never going to be the same again.”

While discussing the moment when she looked down at herself on the operating table and saw tip pen markings, Julia told, “They were like something you see in the butchers.

“I felt like a piece of meat on a block.”

Julia confessed that after operation it took her around two months to be able to look at her reconstructed left b***.

She said: “I didn’t want to see myself so horribly damaged, bruised and battered

“I looked at it in the bedroom in my wardrobe mirror and – I don’t want to upset my surgeon because he has done a brilliant job – it looked like a Plasticine b***. That was eight weeks post-mastectomy.”

She recently shared the last photo she took of her body before the operation.

“One of the best bits of advice I was given by my friend Heidi who’ has been through this, was to say goodbye & thank you to my b*****.. for all the years of service & time spent together.

“Saying farewell & grieving for what we’ve lost is OK.”
