The 45-year-old model and business woman began feeling unwell while filming winter sports reality show The Jump.

On the advice of doctors connected with the show, Caprice Bourret sought help after suffering from severe headaches. Tests confirmed she had developed a tumour the size of a thumb in her brain and surgery was needed to remove it. Speaking to Hello magazine she explained how she found out;

"I found out while I was competing in the show and boy, was it more horrific than any of the challenges," she explained, "I had headaches that were not going away and my vision was beginning to act up so the show's production insisted I see their doctor, My first thought was for my two little boys. I'm their rock and keep my family together. It was the scariest moment I'd ever experienced,"
