Former fitness TV presenter Nicci Roscoe has opened up about having to completely change her career following a devastating brain tumour diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Nicci, 62, regularly appeared on various television shows in the 1990s, appearing on Sky, BBC and GMTV as a fitness expert after David Lloyd Clubs appointed her as head of aerobics.<\/p>\n

However, she was forced to significantly change the course of her career after undergoing surgery for her life-threatening brain tumour.<\/p>\n

It was during her radio stint in the late 1990s that the star, who is now a professional inspirational speaker, began to grow concerned for her health.<\/p>\n

“I was on my regular slot on Viva Radio when I would occasionally utter a different word to the one I wanted to say,” she told OK! Magazine.<\/p>\n

“It was a very strange feeling and quite frightening not being able to get out the words I wanted.”<\/p>\n

Nicci then went to see a doctor who diagnosed her with stress, but the source of her pain and speech issues was not discovered until 2001.<\/p>\n

After becoming immobilised with pain while in a supermarket, Nicci had several tests which revealed she had a brain tumour \u2013 and she immediately feared that she was “going to die”.<\/p>\n

She continued: “The next day I was sitting in the neurosurgeon’s office and he told me I had a golf ball-sized brain tumour that was deeply embedded in my brain.<\/p>\n
