McCall has opened up about her sister in the past, saying that she still talks to her all the time and that Caroline’s death helped inspire her own fitness journey.

Speaking on This Morning earlier this year, she said: “I do find that at 52 I'm exercising and eating right for a slightly different reason, I do think about my health and my longevity.

“My sister died when she was 50, I always think, ‘My mum had cancer, my sister had cancer’ I just want to do everything I can to be the healthiest I can be.”
