Watch: The Office star Lucy Davis rings cancer bell as she announces incurable diagnosis

The Office star Lucy Davis has revealed she has been diagnosed with incurable breast cancer as she shared a video of herself ringing an end-of-treatment bell.

On Tuesday (11 August), the actor, 53, said that she was first diagnosed a year-and-a-half ago, and since then, the cancer has “metastasized” to her bones, including her “spine, right hip and ribs”, adding that "it is too late for chemotherapy”.

Sharing a video of her ringing a bell, the actor read out a rhyme to signal the end of her treatment.

Davis, who is best known for playing Dawn Tinsley in the BBC sitcom, added: “As of now, I’m trying to live out whatever might be left of my life in as fun a way as I possibly can.”
