Speaking previously about her cancer diagnosis, Sylvie said: 'All the luxuries in the world are no protection against that moment when you are told the diagnosis. Then you are just a woman.
'For me, it was as if a bomb had gone off under our lives. Whether you are rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, young or old, cancer knows no boundaries.'
Since declaring herself cancer-free and moving to the UK, the glamorous blonde has bounced back and is making the most of her life a one of the 'new Beckhams' with husband Rafael.
The Dutch couple jetted to St Tropez as soon as the Holland team crashed out of the Euro 2012 football championship, and Sylvie loves showing off her glamorous lifestyle to her 64,000 Twitter followers - often posting pictures of photo shoots, private jets, lunches and parties that she attends.
