Lady Bella endured an operation to remove part of her bowel and was fitted with a illiostomy bag also known as 'Gary', however, being the strong minded individual she is, her diagnoses did not stop her dancing! After a short break Lady Bella continued attending classes with 'Gary' in tow and in April 2023 was given the news that she was in remission.
