Molly-Mae Hague has shared the moment she found out the mole on her leg was cancerous.
In a new YouTube video, the 21-year-old filmed herself as a doctor told her that the mole was malignant during a phone call.
The Love Island star said: “I’ve already shed tears about it. I’ve already like cried down the phone to every single family member.”
Molly said the mole had been sent to America to be examined by experts, and she cancelled all work for two weeks while waiting for an update.
She explained: “I had the mole removed, the removal was fine. I got the call today, and he’s told me it is a malignant melanoma.”
“That’s skin cancer basically, which is obviously petrifying, and shocking, and scary. I don’t even know what to really think or say.”
Molly-Mae also explained that she had the mole checked by two dermatologists, who told her it was fine.
But when she sought a third opinion from another doctor, Molly was told to get it removed immediately.
She said: “As I was leaving the doctors I said: ‘Oh, I’ve had my mole checked by two dermatologists and they said it’s fine. But can you just quickly give me a third opinion on this mole? I personally don’t feel like it looks quite right.'”
“So then I lifted up my jogger and she took one look at the mole and was like: ‘Yeah, that needs to come off.’ And my heart started racing.”
“She just looked quite concerned. I was by myself and I literally just went for a routine check up… and ended up finding out that I had to have a mole removed.”
“I was walking round with skin cancer on my leg,” Molly added.
