February 12, 2019 - 14:55 GMT hellomagazine.com Sky Sports presenter and former Olympic gymnast Jacquie Beltrao talks to HELLO! about her breast cancer diagnosis Sky Sports presenter Jacquie Beltrao marked her medical milestone of being five years cancer free with the holiday of a lifetime. "I've always wanted to come here," the 53-year-old former Olympic gymnast told HELLO! when we joined her for an exclusive interview and photoshoot at an idyllic coastal hideaway on the Riviera Maya in Mexico . "I used to put off doing the things I wanted, thinking they were too self-indulgent or could wait," she said. "After overcoming breast cancer, my outlook has changed. I’m seizing the moment, fulfilling all those wishes I put on the back burner, and I feel absolutely great." From enjoying a sunshine break with her Brazilian-born husband Eduardo, 54, to having a facelift and splashing out on a Louis Vuitton handbag – "It was very extravagant, but I love it" – the mother of Amelia, 21, Tiago, 18, and 17-year-old Jorge is living life to the full. Basking in the luxurious ambience of the Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa, Jacquie told us how her mindset changed when doctors gave her the all clear on the fifth anniversary of her mastectomy. Jacquie Beltrao celebrated five years cancer free on holiday with husband Eduardo "That was the day I thought: 'Right, let’s start the year in a joyful way,'" she said. "A lot of people remove pleasures from their lives in the New Year, starting with Dry January. But I decided: 'No. I’m going to add things to it.' I drank lots of cocktails, ate loads of delicious food and jetted off with Eduardo on this rare holiday without the kids. It’s been a gorgeous, romantic experience, like a second honeymoon," she added. "We work so hard that we hardly get a minute with each other, so this has been a beautiful time for us together as a couple."
