The 55-year-old Countryfile presenter, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2021, covered her modesty with her hands while being filmed in the shower by one of her children upon hearing the news.

She was overjoyed to announce to her Instagram followers that her book, Hack Yourself Healthy, has become a No. 1 Sunday Times Best Seller.

In her caption, she wrote: 'This is what a mini life changing moment looks like. OMG No.1 !!!! I can't believe, in it's week of release Hack Yourself Healthy has made it to Number One in the Sunday Times Best Seller's list. This is a big deal for me and my family and I'm so so grateful.

"There are so many people to thank, from my amazing publishers @piatkus_living & the entire team, my co-writer @missysoliver who is so good at all the stuff I'm not, and my family and friends for putting up with me for two years and my excellent contributors and experts."

She concluded with: "And a HUGE thank you to YOU, the readers. It's just brilliant that a book about health has reached so many of you, and I know from all of your messages that you're making changes and getting an incy bit of inspiration. Let's keep Hacking Ourselves Healthy. Julia x."

Julia then added in the comment section: "When a moment in the shower changes everything. well, just for this week anyway. Thank you! Thank you! You've made Hack Yourself Healthy a Number One best seller."

This Morning host Ben Shephard was one of the first the comment on Julia's post, telling the TV presenter: "Love it Bradders [fire emojis] congrats thoroughly deserved."

"Well done indeed Julia. blinkin eck I thought I’d found your OF page then," one fan joked underneath Julia's update from the shower, as another quipped: "Seeing Julia Bradbury in the shower today wasn't on my bingo card."

Julia, who presented Countryfile and a number of other TV documentaries, opened up about life since being diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago during a candid chat with Lisa Salmon earlier this year.

The TV star's stress hormones used to be so high that a doctor told her it was like she was being chased by a tiger all day. And then she got cancer.

Now, four years since she found a lump in her breast and had a mastectomy, Julia has turned her life around and has finally got the balance right.

"I didn’t have a very balanced life before cancer," she admitted when speaking in June . "Now, I really do feel grateful for every day – balance is very, very important. I’ve had my cortisol [stress hormone] measured, and historically it’s been through the roof. As one doctor described it, I appeared to be being chased by a tiger all day.

"It’s something for everybody to be mindful of – we are human beings, not human doings. Even lions and tigers don’t hunt all day, they rest a lot, and that’s a good metaphor for us – you can’t be in hunting mode or being chased all the time.

"You have to find some time to rest and be calm, and find a little bit of security and peace somewhere where you’re not being chased."

Julia now does breath work and meditation every morning at first light, meditates at night, and exercises regularly. She also journals and, perhaps most importantly, spends as much quality time as possible with her three children – Zephyr, 13, and her twin daughters Xanthe and Zena, 10.

"I really revel in being present with them and doing things with them that are nourishing and enriching – not big things, just being with them and spending time together is really, really important."
