Magda Szubanski, famous for her role as Sharon Strzelecki in the Australian TV series Kath and Kim, shared heartbreaking news on Instagram this afternoon.

Szubanski’s loved ones and friends were quick to voice their support.

“Lots of love and support to you, beautiful one,” comedian Rove McManus commented on her post.

Actor Sam Neill, who is in remission from blood cancer, said, “Right there with you darling.”

Neill and Szubanksi both starred in the 2019 film Ride Like A Girl.

“I’m so sorry to hear this Magda, but this cancer has no idea what it’s taken on does it?” former A Current Affair Host Trace Grimshaw said.

“You come from strong, odds-defying stock, and you’ll beat this.”

Today host David Campbell said “I love you so bloody much.”

Carrie Bickmore, a former host of The Project and radio figure who faced the loss of her husband Greg Lange to brain cancer in 2010, offered words of support to Szubanski, saying, “You’ve got this.”

“Yelling at you now from a distance that we all love you,” Bickmore said.

Actor Hugh Sheridan, who worked with Szubanski in the Australian rendition of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and featured her in the 2012 TV show I Will Survive, expressed his affection with, “I love you so much Magda”.

“Massive hugs being sent to you and so many more in person to come,” the actor wrote.
