Calum Best’s sick mum Angie has issued a desperate plea following her ‘advanced’ cancer diagnosis.
Angie, 73, took to social media today and begged her body to help itself during her gruelling treatment.
Last month, TV personality Calum revealed his beloved mum had been diagnosed with colon cancer, which has spread to her liver.
Angie is currently receiving specialist treatment in Switzerland, but she is struggling.

Angie Best gives emotional cancer update
Earlier today, Angie posted an emotional yet inspirational message to her followers on Instagram.
The former model filmed a video while looking in the mirror. Her chest drain was visible from underneath her fluffy dressing gown.
Angie’s video begins with her repeating “I love you” to herself multiple times.
She explains: “A bit of my morning affirmation to this wonderful little body of mine to say thank you.
“Thank you fighting this battle with me, to show I am grateful and to ask for more help gaining weight.
“If I don’t gain weight, I have to drink this chemical food that they want me to drink which doesn’t sit right with me at all.
“So we are trying to do it the natural way, which to me seems right. But it is all a battle. It is all a battle, homies. But it’s not one we can’t win. And we will win.”
Angie then concluded: “If you’re fighting any battles out there today, homies, just know; this too will pass and you will win. And we will win.”
Angie’s post has been flooded with kind comments of support from well-wishers.
Calum, whose dad is the late England footballer George Best, kicked things off by writing: “And I love you too, a beautiful message mom.”
Another follower said: “You have got this!!! Keep up the fight and the positivity”
A second added: “Little steps add up to bigger victories. You’ve got this.”
Someone else posted: “We love you Angie, keep going.”
And a fourth penned: “You are doing amazing Angie, keep going keep fighting. You 100% got this.”
This is the latest update Angie has given fans since news of her cancer diagnosis broke.
‘It’s terrible’
Last week, Angie admitted to finding things tough following her first round of chemotherapy.
She had told followers that she was struggling to lift her head and do basic tasks like brushing her teeth.
“I can’t eat, it’s terrible,” Angie added.
Yesterday, Angie took a photo of a giant tub of vanilla ice cream. She was eating it straight from the plastic container with a spoon while in her hospital bed.
Angie shared: “An excellent way to gain a few Lbs, supposedly the best ice cream in Zurich.”
Calum had replied: “Jelly babies en route.”
Another fan, meanwhile, said: “Yippee… I hope things are progressing well I pray for you every day sweetheart & light a candle.”
