As they celebrated Mother's Day, Victoria Ekanoye and her mother Candy have been through more than most together. In November former Corrie actress Victoria revealed that she was battling breast cancer.
The star was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ - when cancer cells have developed within the milk ducts in the breast - just months after giving birth to her first child Theo with her partner Jonny Lomas.
Ahead of her double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery she was the belle of the ball at a 'Bye Bye Boobies' party at BLVD in Spinningfields to raise funds for Prevent Breast Cancer and Sickle Cell Care Manchester.

"It was tough with the diagnosis. It's a lot to process as a family," said Victoria as she reflected over the past year.
"But we've got through it and I'm fighting. It's Mother's Day and I've got my beautiful son. My mum is incredible. She has been my rock."
Candy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, when she was 41, and is now cancer free. Victoria, 40, was diagnosed after finding a lump while feeding her baby boy who she welcomed last January.
Victoria, who played Angie Appleton in Coronation Street before leaving the cobbles in 2019, will take the hormone therapy tablet Tamoxifen every day for the next five years as an alternative to chemotherapy. Tamoxifen can cause menopause-like symptoms, but Victoria says its side effects are more tolerable than chemo.
"I'm very grateful it's not chemotherapy. And I'm grateful it was caught so early," said the TV actress and West End star, who also has the red blood cell disorder sickle cell anaemia.
