Myleene Klass has revealed she found multiple lumps in her breast during a visit to Wimbledon, describing the experience as "sobering, humbling and terrifying." The Loose Women star, 48, said she discovered the lumps while watching the tennis and immediately sought medical advice.
Discovery at Wimbledon
In an Instagram post, Klass explained she "accidentally felt a lump" while folding her arms at the tournament, then found a second one. She shared a photo of herself with pen marks indicating the areas under her arm that were investigated.
Klass wrote: "The subsequent days went both quickly and agonisingly slowly. 3 cysts and 3 lymph nodes later, I'm okay, BUT the days of waiting meant I reorganised my life into a new set of priorities and 'what ifs', only to thankfully get the all clear and then experience the weird 'reordering' of going back to 'normal'."
Advice to followers
The I'm A Celebrity star urged her followers to check themselves, saying: "I have close friends going through similar experiences [at the moment] and it's sobering, humbling and terrifying. It's the having kids that anyone who experiences anything near this will know to be the first and final concern."
She added: "I haven't seen an ultrasound since my multiple [miscarriages] and that too was pretty sobering. All this to say, as a fierce advocate for women's health and not hiding what's uncomfortable, right now, check yourself and go get a second opinion."
Support from fans
Klass thanked her talent agency for arranging quick medical appointments and said: "To those who don't have a Sev, look at this as your prompt from me. Check yourselves." Fans and celebrities, including Lauren Laverne and Kirsty Gallacher, sent messages of support in the comments.
