Appelle wrote: “Where do I begin to tell you about these last few weeks…
“It took me a little while before I accepted the situation and was able to share with you how I feel.
“On 8 February 2024, exactly one month after celebrating my 26th birthday, I was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer.
“I felt empty, devastated, I was afraid.”
She added: “But at the same time I have never felt as alive as I have these last few weeks.”

The influencer, who found fame in 2020 on the reality show ‘Les Marseillais’, said: “Of course it is an ordeal.
“Each chemotherapy session is unpleasant and leaves me feeling devastated.
“But I have confidence in life and the Universe. If I’m experiencing this today, it must be for a good reason!”

She also thanked Naccarato for his continued love and support.
Appelle said: “Without your support, everything would be different.
“You know how to make me laugh, how to surprise me, and how to find the right words when I need them.”
The couple has a young daughter who was born in May 2022.
The family appeared in seasons six and seven of the reality show ‘Mamans & Célèbres’.
Appelle advised her followers: “Take care of yourself and your loved ones, savour every moment, every second, don’t wait to enjoy life, it is so beautiful but it can be so unpredictable.”
