Danielle Lloyd hospitalised in heartbreaking skin cancer update
But this week, she said she had undergone an operation after noticing an unusual mole on her torso, which needed to be surgically removed and sent for a biopsy. Danielle will have to wait several weeks to find out if the unusual mole was cancerous or if it was benign.
"It only looks small, but it's definitely changed in colour and size," she said to her social media followers. She went on to add: "I was a little bit apprehensive when I was waiting, but then I was absolutely fine going in."
Sharing a glimpse of the marking on her torso, the model commented: "I had to laugh because it looked like they'd drawn the evil eye on my belly." Upon heading home, the star told fans that she had been in some discomfort, but it wasn't anything to worry about.
She said: "When I got home, I was a little bit sore and a little bit swollen, but overall, I'm just looking forward to getting some positive results." However, she later encouraged her online followers to "know the signs" and to protect themselves from the sun.
Captioning her post, Danielle said: "Trigger Warning. Today I had another surgery to remove another mole — this time on my stomach. We're hoping it's just a precaution, but I'll be waiting 8–10 weeks for results. Please don't ignore any changes to your skin.
"I never thought this would happen to me… until it did. Early detection saves lives — skin cancer is highly treatable when caught early. If something doesn't look or feel right, see a doctor. Protect your skin: Use high SPF, cover up, say no to sunbeds. Look after yourself and those around you."
After sharing she would be waiting eight to ten weeks for the results, one of Danielle's followers asked if she had considered going private, due to results being processed in around 72 hours. "I've been using the NHS yes the results take a long time but they have been amazing," she replied.

Researchers find milk type that increases risk of heart disease and death
A 33-year study conducted in Norway has investigated the long-term health impacts of consuming full-fat versus low-fat milk. Researchers analysed health data from 73,860 individuals, finding that the fat content of milk influenced the risk of death from heart disease. The study revealed that individuals who consumed full-fat milk had a higher mortality risk compared to those who drank low-fat milk. Specifically, consuming low-fat milk was linked to an 11 per cent lower overall mortality risk and a 7 per cent reduced risk of cardiovascular disease compared to whole milk. These findings support current NHS health advice, which cautions against high intake of saturated fat found in full-fat dairy due to its link to increased cholesterol and heart disease risk.

Scottish Labour take £200k in private healthcare-linked donations
Welcome to this week's Branch Office Updates! Subscribe for free using the linked banner above. SCOTTISH Labour have been panned over research which finds its MPs have received nearly £200,000 from donors linked to private healthcare. The SNP have said that leader Anas Sarwar must 'come clean'. Earlier this year, EveryDoctor revealed that MPs had bagged more than £2.7m in donations from people with links to the private healthcare sector. READ MORE: Australian influencers 'damage' historic Jacobite site, as investigation launches Among those receiving the most donations was Health Secretary Wes Streeting who has pocketed a whopping £224,575. The organisation's research, however, also found that half of all Scottish Labour MPs – including Scottish Secretary Ian Murray (below) and Minister Kirsty McNeill – have received donations from companies or individuals linked directly or indirectly with private healthcare, worth a total of £192,071. The largest donor to Scottish MPs is the Labour Together Ltd think tank. It is primarily funded by Martin Taylor, who founded the hedge fund Crake Asset Management, as well as Trevor Chinn, a senior adviser to the private equity firm CVC Capital Partners. CVC has investments in dozens of private healthcare companies in the UK, Europe and Asia, whilst Taylor's firm has held millions worth of shares in firms including United Health and Elevance Health. Several Scottish Labour MPs – Gregor Poynton, Melanie Ward, and Martin McCluskey – have also benefited from donations from Danny Luhde-Thompson, who is an advisor to investment firm Quadrature Capital, which has had extensive shareholding in private healthcare firms. READ MORE: Ian Blackford to give shock return in Kate Forbes seat 'careful consideration' The donations have been declared in the proper manner and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing. But SNP MSP Clare Haughey has told The National that these figures are 'alarming to everyone who is serious about protecting the NHS". 'The volume and amount of donations involved show just how much influence these shadowy think tanks and hedge funds have within the Labour Party,' she added. 'Even before coming to power, Labour's Health Secretary Wes Streeting said that he would 'hold the door wide open' to private investment in the NHS. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to see why when you discover who is bankrolling the Labour Party.' Haughey went on: 'Anas Sarwar previously tried to dismiss Labour Together Ltd as a group on the 'fringes' of the Labour Party. The fact that they have funded half of his MPs would suggest they are far from being on the fringes but are in fact at the very heart of Labour. 'Sarwar must come clean on Scottish Labour's position on private healthcare, and whether his prospective MSPs will be getting bankrolled by groups with links to private healthcare. 'Whilst Labour has many questions to answer, one thing is clear – only the SNP will protect the NHS and ensure that healthcare is provided based on medical need rather than the ability to pay." A Scottish Labour spokesperson said: "All donations are declared in line with Parliamentary and Ministerial rules. "While one in six Scots are abandoned by the SNP on NHS waiting lists, the Labour Party – who created the NHS – will always make sure it remains free at the point of need on our watch."
