Lucy Davis delights fans as she teams up with Sabrina The Teenage Witch rival Caroline Rhea in fun Insta video after being diagnosed with incurable cancer

Lucy Davis left fans delighted on Monday as she teamed up with her Sabrina The Teenage Witch rival Caroline Rhea for a fun Instagram video amid her cancer battle. 

The Office star, 53, announced in August that she's been diagnosed with incurable stage four breast cancer and 'doesn't know how long she has left'.

But Lucy bravely ploughed on with her work and tickled fans as she engaged in some friendly rivalry with Canadian actress Caroline, 62, as they promoted their new VIP meet and greet event. 

Caroline portrayed Aunt Hilda Spellman in the original ABC series of Sabrina The Teenage Witch, starring alongside Melissa Joan Hart in all seven seasons from 1996 to 2003.

Meanwhile, Lucy took on the same role in Netflix's rebooted version of the much-loved teen show – called The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina – between 2018-2020.

The humorous clip, shared to their respective Instagrams, saw Caroline boasting she was the 'OG' Aunt Hilda as she announced their exciting new venture.

Dressed to the nines in a bright yellow dress while holding a large gold '1' balloon, Caroline said: 'Hi everybody, it's me, Aunt Hilda. Hilda Spellman, the OG, Aunt Hilda, number one, the first one that was ever.'

At that point, Lucy, clad in a red minidress, then stepped into shot and grabbed the balloon as she remarked: 'Oh hi, thank you so much for holding this for me. I'm Aunt Hilda.'

Then looking over at Caroline, she dismissively added: 'Oh bless you. I'll have a coffee, two sugars, maybe a little cream.' 

Reacting to the snub, Caroline moaned: 'How many times have we gone over this and how many times are we going to meet each other? I am Aunt Hilda the OG. You are...'

She then walked out of shot and returned with a large gold '2' balloon before handing it to Lucy and grabbing back her '1' balloon.

She then informed the British star: 'You are the second Aunt Hilda, I am the first.'

As Lucy then questioned if Caroline was implying she looked 21, the Canadian star bluntly replied 'no,' before turning to the camera adding: 'Let's tell them what we're doing this holiday season.' 

The screen then showed a promotional poster of a VIP meet and greet in Salem, Massachusetts in late October titled Two Hildas Fly Into A Bar.

Captioning the video, Caroline penned: 'I’m very excited to announce that the brilliantly funny @reallucydavis and I will be flying to Salem to try to repopulate the witch population. 

'Lucy is hilarious and we are going to share our stories about how we both ended up playing this our own version of Aunt Hilda and stories and pictures from our lives. We’re doing a VIP meet and greet with pictures and autographs and a swag bag( I’m an Aries it’s a good one!) I have fallen in love with Salem and all its residents. Hope to see you there.'

To which Lucy responded: 'Bring it on ‘Aunt Hilda’! 

The announcement and accompanying video left fans thrilled with many sharing their positive reactions in the comments.

They penned: 'Love you both so much!!!!'

'Lucy will forever be my Hilda - both are great though!!'

'Is sooo good to see @reallucydavis look so good and living it up.'

'Awww I’m glad to see Lucy is out doing stuff and making the most of her time. I was so sad to hear her diagnosis and hope something changes.'

'I absolutely love both of you, you will always both be our Aunt Hilda’s ❤️ Aunt Hilda has always been the cool aunt.'

Lucy's appearance comes weeks after she sent a letter to Prime Minister Andy Burnham, asking him to urgently instruct the Ministry of Defence to replace the real bear fur used for the King's Guard's caps with faux fur. 

The lifelong Peta ally wrote in her letter: 'Faux fur has come an awfully long way, and there is no reason why the grandeur and tradition of the King's Guards' caps cannot be preserved without costing bears their lives.'

'I've spent much of my life advocating for animals and being recently diagnosed with incurable cancer has inevitably made me think more about the time I have left.'

'I sincerely hope I get to see Britain finally commit to the caps being fur-free.' The letter concludes, 'Please, Prime Minister, won't you make this happen in my lifetime?' 

Lucy's appeal comes nearly 20 years after she bared all for bears to call for an end to the use of fur in the ceremonial caps. 

The ministry purchases finished caps from capmakers who source bear fur from Canada. 

A 2024 Peta video exposé revealed that hunters often bait bears with buckets of sweet food before shooting them with high-powered crossbows, a form of hunting illegal in the UK under wildlife protection laws. 

Peta says that many bears are shot several times, and some escape only to die slowly from blood loss, gangrene, starvation or dehydration.

Going public with her cancer diagnosis in August, Lucy shared that she first discovered a 'tiny, hard spot' in her breast a year ago and nearly ignored it before seeing a doctor. 

The star said that despite the cancer being declared incurable she is 'at peace with whatever comes next'.

Lucy shared her diagnosis alongside an emotional video that showed her ringing the cancer treatment bell, and wrote in her post that she's been told it's 'too late' for her to undergo chemotherapy.

The star is best known for her role as Dawn Tinsley in Ricky Gervais's comedy The Office, and went on to star in the DC film Wonder Woman.
