Looking fit and fabulous in skin-tight jeans and sexy silver top with a plunging back on Wednesday night, Kennerley said she was relieved the six-week course of radiation was over.Inspired by the performance of The Voicecontestants Stevens and Barnes - who were joined by Jimmy Barnes, Diesel and Darren Percival on stage throughout the night - Kennerley also said she would love to return to live singing.

''I'm feeling great and so happy to be finishing the radiation. It is my last treatment,'' she said.

Kennerley gave some credit for her svelte shape to the diet devised by her Dancing With The Starspartner Carmelo Pizzoni.

While you could see her happiness all over her face, there was the shadow of a nasty bruise under her right eye, sustained after she took a tumble at her Woollahra home while trying to carry her beloved dog Harvey up the stairs.

''I had stockinged feet, slipped and we both went down,'' she said.

The vivacious television personality grooved along to the powerhouse performance by Stevens and Barnes, almost out-singing the soulful duo and their big band during some of the tunes from their Come Together duets record.

She cheekily explained she was able to kick up her heels because her husband John was in London on business.

The pair will meet up in Rome on Sunday, with Kennerly contracted to film a series of tourism commercials.

She said she was also exploring further interviews with Seven's Sunday Night program after her recent story on rhinos helped the show to one of its highest ratings of 1.4 million.

''It's a commercial deal with a travel company, not a TV show. I can't wait to get my teeth into more interviews for Seven considering how successful that first one was,'' the evergreen entertainer said.

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Kate Jackson Breast Cancer a flash back

THE MOST MOMENTOUS CHANGE IN Kate Jackson's life began early one morning in January 1987, during her fourth season on the hit TV series Scarecrow and Mrs. King. After a phone call informed her that the show's taping was canceled because costar Bruce Boxleitner had the flu, Jackson went back to sleep. When she woke several hours later, "It was out of the blue, but perfectly clear," she recalls. "I sat up in bed and literally said, 'You have to have a mammogram.' " She did, and two days later a biopsy confirmed her vague fears: A minute growth found in her left breast was determined to be malignant. "I was forced to face, squared up, my own mortality," says Jackson. "I had to decide whether I wanted to live or to die. And if you choose life, as I did, it's never the same." For three TV seasons 16 years ago, she was famous as Sabrina Duncan, a girl-next-door gone glamorous and the character critics dubbed the brainiest o...
