Molly-Mae Hague has urged her fans to check their breasts, after finding a lump.
The 22-year-old, who has been announced as the new creative director of PrettyLittleThing, opened up about her scare in her latest YouTube video.
The Love Island star assured her followers that it was “nothing serious” and that the lump was “completely benign”, but said she felt it was important to share her story.
She said: “I basically noticed a little lump in my boob, went to get it checked and it was completely fine, completely benign.”
“It’s a little thing called a fibroadenoma and it’s a normal thing to get at this age, small lumps can happen all the time it doesn’t mean they’re sinister. So I went back today to get it checked and it had grown a little bit.”
“Again, it doesn’t mean it’s sinister or dramatic, just it had grown a little bit. So the doctor recommended we did a biopsy. It was not very nice considering I’m not very good with needles, but I thought there’s not a way round this, I have to do it.”
“So he stuck a big fat needle in my boob, numbed it and took samples from the lump. I promise I will keep you updated with this one.”
“It’s nothing serious, I don’t want it to be anything serious, but I do think it’s important to share with you guys – it’s an important subject,” she added.
“We should always be checking our boobs, checking for lumps so we can make sure they’re all ok and get them removed if needs be.”
Molly previously had a mole removed from her leg after a cancer scare.
