She’s urged people to get themselves checked
Danielle Lloyd has revealed she has been diagnosed with skin cancer in an emotional video on social media.
Sharing the news with her followers on Instagram, the model said she was “really shocked” by the news and would require an operation.
She said: “I don’t really know how to say this and I didn’t know whether to come on and say it but I feel like I have to raise awareness of this happening to other people.
“Today I have been diagnosed with a form of skin cancer. And I just want to raise awareness for anyone who might think they’ve got something funny on their bod, they see a mole that’s growing that’s not normal – please please please go to your doctor. You just never know.
“I’m really shocked at what I’ve been told today but I’ve been really supported by the Macmillan nurses at the hospital. I am going to have to have an operation to see if it has spread.
“But yeah, just honestly, not what I expected today. And I suppose not what anyone expects, but please guys look after your skin. Stay off sunbeds, wear factor 50. Just look after yourself because you never know.”
Lloyd has been open in the past about her health, having been diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis. She has previously had to have an operation to remove a cyst on her ovary, and as a result can no longer can carry children, the Mirror reports.
