Australian health blogger admits lying about cancer...

An Australian blogger who found fame after claiming she was conquering brain cancer through natural therapy, her app even getting chosen for the new Apple watch, admitted Thursday she never had the disease.

Belle Gibson launched her successful The Whole Pantry business in 2013 -- billed as the world's first health, wellness and lifestyle app community -- on the back of healing herself naturally through wholefoods and alternative therapies.

She also released The Whole Pantry cookbook in 2014, which publisher Penguin pulled from sale last month when suspicions sparked by the Australian media first arose. It had been due to go on sale soon in the United States and Britain.

Her app had also reportedly been hand-picked by tech giant Apple for its new smartwatch, which goes on sale Friday.

Mother-of-one Gibson, 23, has now admitted she fabricated the cancer, when quizzed by the Australian Women's Weekly. Full story...
