The actress, 60, gave an update on her health on Instagram where she revealed she can walk a ‘certain amount before’ she gets ‘puffed out’ as she told a sweet story about an encounter with a lady at her local shop.

Cheryl said: “Well I just had to come on and tell you something that has planted a seed in my little brain. And hopefully it plants the seed in somebody in our industry – producers, tv people etc. So the story goes this, I can walk with a stick now from the stroke which is brilliant, I can walk a certain amount before I get puffed out.”

Cheryl went on to say that she went to her local Premier shop to give herself some exercise when she said there was a lady in there who admitted she read her book.

She said: “This lady was in there. Probably about my age, I dunno, maybe 50’s to 60’s, something like that. Anyways, she said Oh My Gosh I’ve just read your book. And I went ‘oh have you? How did you find it?’ She said you’ve had a life haven’t you? And I said yeah a little bit.”

The soap star went on to say how the woman suggested she should turn it into a series or a film before Cheryl said: “”Let’s make this happen, it would be absolutely fantastic. Anyway, it was just a thought from a lovely lady in my local shop.”

It comes after she suffered from a stroke earlier this year after she was experiencing a headache.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror ahead of the release of her explosive new memoir, Behind The Scenes last month, the mum of one explained how she was at home watching TV when she first realised something was wrong.
