As the UK's most popular cycling instructor on the global fitness platform Peloton, this time last year Leanne Hainsby was living a fairytale existence. But in June 2022, everything changed. After losing her best friend to a shock cardiac arrest, the fitness instructor felt a lump in her breast and was diagnosed with early, triple positive breast cancer.

Incredibly, Leanne decided to keep teaching her Peloton classes around her weekly bouts of chemotherapy. "My classes turned out to be a haven – one moment in my day when I wasn't a breast cancer patient, or the girl who’d just lost her best friend," she said. "It felt like I could be free for a little while." Scroll down to read Leanne's story.

Plus, discover the best and worst high street coffee according to an expert and find out how a handsome bottle of hand soap became a billion dollar brand.
