Sienna Blake has some devastating news for Warren Fox on Hollyoaks next week, as she tells him that she's prepared to sacrifice her own life for the sake of her unborn babies.

Show bosses have confirmed that Sienna will be diagnosed with cervical cancer in an emotional new storyline, which began when she received some worrying news at the hospital in yesterday's E4 episode (July 20).

Last night, viewers saw Sienna left worried when she realised that the hospital were about to start testing her for abnormal cells.

Over the next couple of episodes, we'll see Sienna's worst fears realised as she's told that she does have cervical cancer and now needs to make a huge decision between herself and her babies.

The worrying dilemma is revealed after doctors advise that Sienna would need to terminate her pregnancy to receive the most effective treatment for her illness.

Unsure of what to do, Sienna seeks some support from Myra McQueen (Nicole Barber-Lane), who speaks candidly about her experience of having an operation when she was pregnant with Carmina.

Myra encourages Sienna to put herself first by going through with the operation, but Sienna later shocks her boyfriend Warren by revealing that she's decided to save her babies rather than herself. Will Warren support her decision or not?

Hollyoaks have been working closely with cancer charity Macmillan while creating Sienna's storyline.

As part of her own personal research, Anna Passey – who plays Sienna – also spoke to a cervical cancer survivor who'd been diagnosed during pregnancy.

Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
