George Best’s ex-wife Angie has received a diagnosis of colon cancer, as revealed by their son, TV personality Calum Best, in a heartfelt video shared on Instagram. Calum disclosed that Angie, aged 73, was recently diagnosed with the disease, which has also affected her liver. He emphasized the importance of honesty in dealing with health issues, stating that despite Angie’s dedication to health and wellness throughout her life, cancer does not discriminate.
To support Angie’s treatment, Calum initiated a GoFundMe campaign seeking financial assistance for specialized care. Expressing the emotional toll the situation has taken on him, Calum admitted to rarely shedding tears but acknowledged the unexpected challenges they are facing. He emphasized the need for professional treatment and care, underscoring the financial strain and requesting any form of contribution to aid in Angie’s journey towards recovery.
Assuring followers of regular updates, Calum expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and encouraged ongoing backing for his mother’s treatment. Additionally, Angie shared her determination to combat the illness through various treatment options, outlining the financial needs for consultations, therapies, and living expenses.
The family’s journey with cancer has been a difficult one, with Angie and George Best’s relationship dating back to their meeting in 1975 in Los Angeles. Despite their eventual marriage and the birth of Calum in 1981, the couple separated in 1982 and finalized their divorce in 1986.
