Olivia Newton-John seen for first time since breast cancer bombshell

Olivia Newton-John has been seen for the first time since she opened up about her battle with breast cancer.

The Grease actress, 70, recently revealed she doesn't know how much longer she has to live as the chance of a cure for her condition - which is at stage four - is very slim.

On Wednesday night she hit the red carpet at the Industry Dance Awards and Cancer Benefit Show in Hollywood, where she picked up an award.

She looked glam in a white trouser suit and shimmery silver top which she matched with her trainers.

Olivia was all smiles as she posed for photos and wanted people to know that she was feeling good.

She told Entertainment Tonight : "I just want everyone to know, I'm here, I'm doing great

"I'm doing really well and I'm really healthy.

"It was a challenging year because I broke my sacrum and I had to learn to walk again and everything.

"But I am strong and I am back and I'm feeling good and loving every minute."

Olivia shared the devastating news that she's battling breast cancer for the third time back in November.

She decided it was better for her mental health if her doctors didn't tell her how long she had left.

Speaking to 60 Minutes earlier this month, she said: "When you're given a cancer diagnosis or a scary illness diagnosis, you are suddenly given a possibility of a time limit.

"If you believe the statistics, you're going to make them happen. If somebody tells you, 'you have six months to live', very possibly you will - because you believe that."

The shock diagnosis comes five years after her secret second battle with cancer and two decades after she first overcame the disease in 1992.

In January she was forced to deny she was "at death's door" as she recorded a video for fans saying she is "doing great".
