Comedian Ricky Gervais' longtime partner, Jane Fallon, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. "I thought I should post something as I've had a few people notice I've been a bit quiet on here lately," Fallon, 65, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, March 12. "About a month ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer - very early stage thankfully and the prognosis is excellent." Fallon underwent a routine mammogram in December 2025 after a radiographer found "something iffy" in her chart despite zero symptoms. "[The radiographer] sent me for further tests and eventually a biopsy," she wrote on Thursday.
