MOLLY-Mae Hague broke down in tears as she revealed her skin cancer scare with fans.
The Love Island star, 21, got emotional as she recalled the mole on her calf her mum Debbie who first noticed the mole while she was in the villa.
She said she visited a doctor three times over the mole, before reassuring followers that it turned out to be non-cancerous.
Molly-Mae was moved to tears after watching a Stand Up To Cancer segment about Emily Hayward.
The personal trainer, from Canterbury, had won legions of fans as she bravely and openly spoke about her cancer battle.
Emily had initially been diagnosed with cancer in 2010 after a mole on her leg was found to be a malignant melanoma.
Despite surgeons removing the cancerous area on her leg, the cancer had returned two years later.
It was then, in 2013, that a scan revealed the disease had moved to the lymph nodes in her groin.
She died eight years after receiving her melanoma diagnosis.
Talking about her own cancer scare, Molly said: “I actually found a mole on the back of my calf about a year or so ago and had it checked, obviously I’m so blessed that mine wasn’t cancerous, but it just made me so upset that like ”what does she do to deserve that? Who deserves that?”
“It is just the worst thing in the world. It’s just to comprehend for families that have to go through it, how much of a struggle it must be for people who actually deal with cancer.
“It just broke my heart watching that.”
After openening up about her own experience, Molly urged fans to get checked.
“Get your moles checked out people!!!” she said.
“It is so unbelievably important. I’ve had this checked three times now by different consultants just to be sure.
“This just appeared out of nowhere for me and my mum actually noticed it when I was on Love Island through watching me on TV…”
In the UK, around 13,300 people a year are diagnosed with skin cancer every year, according to Cancer Research.
And spotting the early signs of the disease could make all the difference when it comes to survival.
Experts recommend that those individuals perform regular checks of their skin to spot for potential signs of the disease returning, or new melanomas appearing.
