Privacy NoticeLove Island star Lola Deluca has given an update on her terrifying cancer scare. The star had a mole removed just days before entering the Villa, with the 22-year-old posting a video about it at the time. How, just weeks after leaving the villa, she has given fans the latest on her health. Lola, who was a bombshell on the latest series of the ITV2 dating show, opened up about the topic in a recent Q&A on Instagram. One fan asked the 22-year-old, “Watched your TikTok about your mole a few months back, did it ever get sorted?” In reply, Lola shared a picture of her mole as it was then and the scar she now has on her arm, posting: “So this was what the mole on my arm looked like, I then had to go and have it removed and sent for a biopsy.

“I waited for about a month and it came back as being one stage away from being skin cancer (melanoma). “Then I had to go back and have more removed from the issue to make sure it was all fully gone! That came back all clear thank god.” She added: “This is what the scar looks like now. It’s not too bad, I actually have an appointment next month to have my full body checked.” The reality star confessed that she hopes talking about her ordeal encourages others to get checked out: “I get dms all the time about what the mole looked like so I hope this helps xx.”

In the video Lola shared on TikTok before heading into the Love Island villa about her cancer scare, she told her followers: “The woman said, ‘you were very lucky that you got it checked when you did’. I just had a gut feeling, You know your body and you know when something isn’t right.” Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that has a tendency to spread around the body and is the 5th most common cancer in the UK. In the UK, there are 16,000 diagnosis of the condition per year, and takes the lives of 2,340 people per year. The number of people being diagnosed with melanoma is increasing. The best protection from melanoma is to take sensible precautions in the sun by wearing SPF every day, wearing a hat and sunglasses and keeping out of the sun in the hottest times of days. It is also advised by experts to avoid sunbeds.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
