Wishing him a speedy recovery
Former reality star Mark Wright gave a warning to his followers after having a 12cm tumour removed.
Wright, who previously appeared on The Only Way Is Essex, shared pictures of the lump and his recovery on social media.
He said he was not sure whether to reveal his health scare, but decided to share to help others who may have similar worries.
Writing on Instagram, he spoke about how he was told at first not to worry.
"I saw a doctor who passed it on as 'a fatty lump that doesn't need any treatment' so I just left it," he said.
"After some time the lump grew and began to bother me. I am someone that when it comes to life in general, I leave no stone unturned. When it involves health, this idiom quadruples."
Wright said he got a second opinion and the doctor was certain it was a lipoma - a benign fatty tumour - but that "he had a tiny bit of concern that it has/could turn in to a sarcoma (a cancerous malignant tumour)".
He moved on to a sarcoma specialist, who saw the scans about 10 day ago, and had the tumour removed this week.
Urging fans to get any health concerns checked immediately, Wright wrote: "Nothing in life is more important than your health and well-being.
"Get checked, check yourself and make sure you take good care of yourself."
Wise words!
