Roxy said she felt lucky to have been able to have a girl and a boy – Pixie, six, and Hunter, three – but wouldn’t be trying for another child.
‘I would say it would be very unlikely that I would even be able to now because of the radiation therapy I had, and the tamoxifen which I am on now for breast cancer,’ she explained.
The PR queen also revealed that she had been given the opportunity by doctors to store embryos prior to commencing cancer treatment.

Roxy was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2016, mere weeks after husband Oliver was sentenced to 12 months in prison for insider trading.
