The singer, 39, died from the disease in 2021 with her last wish being for new ways to spot it early when it’s more treatable and the Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal was born.

She also inspired the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment in Young Women BCAN-RAY) project and Catherine CravenHowe, of Runcorn in Cheshire, was the first to take part.
