Lucy Davis, a British actress known for her role as Dawn Tinsley in the original UK version of The Office, has revealed that she is living with incurable stage 4 breast cancer.

The 53-year-old actress shared the news on Instagram, stating that the cancer is incurable and too late for chemotherapy. Despite the prognosis, Davis remains positive, saying she is "not scared of whatever comes next" and is "at peace" with her situation. She is trying to live out the remainder of her life in as fun a way as possible and is using her platform to raise awareness about the importance of checking for unusual health symptoms.

Her former director Edgar Wright is also among those who have shown support.
