Emmerdale star Claire King claims cancer is 'nature's payback for mistreating planet'
“I think that's a lot to do with how we are treating the planet. “We've mistreated the planet and this is nature's payback,” she told OK! magazine. “We're not doing ourselves any good - says she who drinks and smokes - but we've all got to play our part in this and it becomes very poignant when you lose a good friend,” she went on to say.
