It comes after an Bartholomew, who is pregnant and a mother to one-year-old daughter Molly, broke down on air in June after sharing Grace’s story.
“Here’s an update on a story that’s very close to my heart,” Edwina said on Wednesday.
“Earlier this year I met toddler grace Bridges. This gorgeous little girl has been battling the rare cancer named metastatic hepatoblastoma.”
“I’m delighted to tell you that this week her parents and Grace received the best news ever - she is cancer-free!”
Grace had undergone a staggering 70 doses of chemotherapy, five major surgeries and more than 100 days in hospital.
Her rare cancer is so aggressive that devastated doctors at one point warned her heartbroken parents that their daughter may have just 24 hours to live.
Bartholomew described the update as “beautiful” and recalled her emotional response to meeting Grace and her family earlier this year.
“You might remember because I absolutely lost it!” she joked.
“They call her ‘amazing Grace’ and I think that is absolutely the best name for her, she is such a cute kid.
“It’s such wonderful news for her whole family to be cancer-free after that horrific ordeal.”
