Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas has opened up about her 'terrifying' cancer scare and urged other women to get tested and seek treatment in order to be diagnosed with the disease as early as possible
The 63-year-old judge revealed she has undergone testing for the disease and is living in fear of a potential diagnosis, reports the Mirror.
Despite the health scare, she remains determined to keep busy and avoid dwelling on potential health issues. She recalled: "My dear student and friend Amy said to me, 'You must never miss a mammogram'. So when this particular invite came in I could have put it off until the summer when it is a bit quieter. But I'm glad I didn't."
On Friday, Shirley took to Instagram Stories to share a photo of herself in bandages, reinforcing her message about the importance of mammograms: "Urging all women do not miss your mammogram. I went for mine, ended up going for a second one and a biopsy. Local anesthetic biopsy done. Now waiting for results."
