I didn't see the interview today. Was Nicola promoting getting regular smears and checks or just telling her story? If she was promotion women's health matters then its an important issue....Otherwise it is just getting her face on TV. As Amy said, jade goody's story prompted a lot if young women to start having smears et and early detection is essential in getting quick and effective treatment so any "celeb" highlighting those issues is a benefit.
