Fox News host Kat Timpf has issued a shock health update after her breast cancer diagnosis during pregnancy.

The 36-year-old returned to Gutfeld! on Monday night – following her maternity leave – to deliver the major news.

‘I am boob-free. I am cancer-free as well,’ she told the panel.

 

She explained her decision, joking that she didn’t want to ‘risk [her] life for some 32As.’

Timpf also said doctors were unsure if the cancer was linked to her pregnancy, but added that even if it was, it was ‘so worth it’ because of how much she loves her son.

In a clip shared on the program’s social media account, fans gushed over Kat’s return and her welcome update.

‘Kat, welcome back! You were missed!’ one fan wrote on Instagram.

‘So happy to see you!!!!’ another Instagram user wrote, followed by multiple pink heart emojis. ‘You look beautiful!’

‘Been praying for her. Love seeing her back on the show,’ another added.

In March, it was revealed that Kat had undergone a double mastectomy for breast cancer after receiving the shock diagnosis while pregnant.

She was told she had stage zero breast cancer just one day before going into labor with her first child.

At the time, Timpf shared a post-surgery update to let fans know she was doing well.

She shared an image from a hospital bed of her legs covered by a gown with an animated ‘censored’ illustration over her feet.

In the caption, she made a joke about how much her breast size had been reduced.

‘Post-op! They’re honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant,’ Timpf wrote said.

Timf has been open about her unconventional journey to parenthood as she navigated the first few weeks of her son’s life while reeling from the cancer diagnosis.

‘Last week, I welcomed by first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer,’ she said.

Timpf went on to assure her supporters that the cancer was stage zero and her doctors were confident that it hadn’t spread.

‘I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out,’ she continued.

‘By the afternoon, I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out.

Timpf said that following the diagnosis she was ‘crawling around the floor of my apartment in spontaneous labor.’

Shortly after her shock announcement, Timpf shared an update thanking her followers for their support and hitting back at those who took the opportunity to share their unsolicited advice.

Timpf welcomed her first child, a son, in February with her husband, Cameron Friscia.
