'It's a cancer that doesn't get spoken about much because it's not very appealing. Speaking about your bowels isn't very nice… it's an ugly cancer, and the recovery is really, really tough.'
'But she's doing really well now. It's been a tough few months. But she is a vibrant, strong lady and she's made it through. We're very, very lucky.'
Jesinta said that after her mother's diagnosis earlier this year, she's vowed to slow down in her own life and career because health comes first.
'My whole life I've seen a woman work herself to the bone,' Jesinta said, with her mother starting her own school in Queensland.

'Her health is something she sacrificed for all of that. I know she doesn't regret anything, but talking to her I know she says she wished she looked after her health a little bit more.'
The blonde added: 'I have similar qualities to my mum. I'm quite driven and I really enjoy working hard but at what cost does that come at?'
'It's really important to slow down and really maintain and look after your health. if you don't have your health, you really have nothing.'
