Nadia Sawalha mourns friend Hannah Gardner, 39, who died after a 12-year battle with breast cancer, leaving behind a daughter with autism.
Nadia Sawalha has announced the death of her close friend Hannah Gardner, 39, who died after a 12-year battle with breast cancer, including a final stage four diagnosis in 2022.
Sawalha shared an emotional tribute on December 28, 2025, describing Gardner as a daughter-like figure and praising the care she received at The Princess Alice Hospice.
The pair had bonded during a Coppafeel fundraising event and worked together on a campaign to secure NHS funding for an experimental drug, Enheru, which was not effective in time.
Sawalha also expressed concern for Gardner’s daughter, Lila, who has autism, and her husband, a firefighter managing caregiving alongside his job.
