Actor Lucy Davis has been diagnosed with incurable stage four breast cancer, according to multiple reports. Her father, comedian Jasper Carrott, told the BBC that the family is "so proud" of her following the news.
Davis, best known for her role as Dawn Tinsley in the UK version of The Office, has spoken publicly about her condition. The Guardian, The Telegraph, and Sky News have all confirmed the diagnosis, with reports indicating the cancer is at stage four and considered incurable.
In comments reported by the BBC, Carrott expressed his family's admiration for how Davis has handled the situation. The Sun also quoted him as saying he is "proud" after his daughter's announcement. The exact details of when Davis received her diagnosis or began treatment have not been disclosed in the available reporting.
Davis's career includes her breakout part in the original The Office, which aired in the early 2000s. She later appeared in the US version of the show and in films such as Shaun of the Dead. Her public disclosure has drawn attention from fans and media outlets, with several major news organisations covering the story on the same day.
The news comes as Davis continues to work in the entertainment industry. No further statements from Davis herself or her representatives have been reported beyond the initial announcement.
Observers will likely watch for any updates from Davis or her family regarding her health and ongoing projects.
