Recently, Gaby shared a few comments on her father Clive Roslin’s bowel cancer and how it affects their lives altogether.

“I think we all suspected it was cancer and if I’m honest I think my mum probably knew that herself but she really didn’t want anyone to know,” said Gaby.

“I remember going to see my mum and dad in different hospitals around the same time and the Marie Curie staff were just so kind,” she added.

“The warmth they showed my mum and dad but also to me was so wonderful. The simple things they did just meant so much: having that extra person to hold our hands and just to know there were other people that cared.”

Gaby went on to state that she always tries to stay positive and figure out the good despite the adversities in her life. Her mother is no more with her. She passed away on the coveted Valentines’ day just weeks after her father’s cancer diagnosis.


Gaby Roslin previously revealed her father’s poor diet led to Bowel Cancer

Previously, Gaby revealed that her dad’s poor diet probably led to his bowel cancer. She went on to state how her interest in healthy food was sparked by three-life changing moments.

Gaby suffered debilitating symptoms before she discovered that she had a wheat allergy. However, her father Clive Roslin was diagnosed with bowel cancer, which Gaby believes could have been triggered by a poor diet.

Thus, no wonder the TV personality is a massive advocate of healthy eating and living.

“We have got to look at ourselves from the inside out. Generally speaking, look after your gut. Don’t eat rubbish, eat healthy food, cook fresh. It doesn’t have to take a long time and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Cut out sugar and salt,” Gaby once said.

“And, remember, the right fats aren’t bad for you. Everyone started going for low-fat food and that is when obesity levels started to peak. It is just understanding what you put into your body and how you can make a difference in your life.”

Gaby has had a tough life where she lost her mother, Jackie, to lung cancer, and her father, Clive Roslin, is suffering from bowel cancer. We request our readers to always keep her in their prayers.
