This Morning's Josie Gibson, 40, reveals terrifying cancer scare after finding lump in her breast
The This Morning star, 40, went to see a doctor after discovering an abnormal lump in her left breast implant, which she later had both removed.
Josie, who had a breast enhancement in 2013 to take her from a B cup to a DD, said removing her implants gave her 'peace of mind', following the scare.
Talking about the scary ordeal for the first time, Josie told The Sun on Sunday: 'I had a big lump underneath my left boob and I was getting really worried about it.
'You could actually see it protruding — you could see the breast had changed shape, so I was getting a little bit frightened.
'So I went to my GP and he had a feel around — it was my breast implant. I went and I had them out and, for me, it was one of the best things I've done.'

Josie Gibson's terrifying cancer scare which forced her to make huge decision
This Morning host Josie Gibson has revealed she had a terrifying cancer scare after finding a lump in her breast as she made the decision to remove her implants Josie Gibson has revealed she was forced to remove her breast implants following a harrowing cancer scare. The This Morning host found a large lump in her breast before deciding to remove the implants. She has now spoken of the terrifying moment for the first time as she admitted she became "really worried" about the lump in 2023. Josie had a breast enhancement operation in 2013, where she went from a B cup to a DD. Yet, 10 years on, she had to have them removed following the health scare. It comes after Katie Price is left unable to complete basic functions after latest facial surgeries.

'You could actually see it protruding — you could see the breast had changed shape, so I was getting a little bit frightened," she told the Sun. 'So I went to my GP and he had a feel around — it was my breast implant. I went and I had them out and, for me, it was one of the best things I've done.' Josie, who has teamed up with tombola and Breast Cancer Now, said she has no regrets with her decision and admitted she now has "peace of mind". The Big Brother star has also been candid about her weight and fitness levels, and she was being told she was suffering from gout. Earlier this year, she swapped swanky restaurants for liver and spam as she had a heath MOT for her show, The 1970s Diet. She said that she 'runs rings around her slim friends' but is still 'overweight' – something she claims is unfair because she's 'always exercised'. Opening up about her health in the show on Channel 5, Josie said: "I'm one of the most on the go people I've ever met but my size doesn't fit with my activity. It never has. I do not stop. "I've got friends that are really slim and I'm thinking, 'I run rings around you!' Sometimes I think, 'Is it fair?' but we're all different. I am fit, but I am also overweight.' Despite being told she has a "superior fitness rate," Josie was told she was suffering from gout, which is a form of arthritis in which a substance in the body called uric acid builds up in the joints. According to the NHS, you may be more likely to get gout if you're overweight, drink alcohol or have high cholesterol. Admitting she thought gout was "only for old men", Josie said: 'I kept saying to the nurse: 'My toes keep hurting'. "I thought gout was only for old men, but I have been living quite a lavish life. Before I filmed this show, I caught a lot of flights, I drank a lot of champagne, I ate a lot of rich food and I had little sleep. That's how I ended up getting gout.'

AI to help slash NHS hospital discharge delays, officials say
Technology is being piloted to help free up NHS hospital beds which are occupied by people fit to be sent home, officials have announced. The platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help complete the documents needed to discharge patients, potentially saving hours of delays. The move will allow doctors to spend less time on paperwork and more time focused on care, cutting waiting times in the process, according to Health Secretary Wes Streeting. The technology, which is being piloted at Chelsea and Westminster NHS Trust, extracts information from medical records, including diagnoses and test results. This helps medics to draft discharge summaries, which have to be completed before a person is sent home from hospital. The document is then reviewed by healthcare professionals responsible for the patient and used to send them home or refer them to other services. The tool will be hosted on the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP), a shared software system aiming to make it easier for health and care organisations to work together and provide better services to patients The current manual system can sometimes leave patients waiting for hours to be discharged, as doctors may be too busy to fill in forms, according to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. Mr Streeting said: 'This potentially transformational discharge tool is a prime example of how we're shifting from analogue to digital as part of our 10-year health plan. 'We're using cutting-edge technology to build an NHS fit for the future and tackle the hospital backlogs that have left too many people waiting too long. 'Doctors will spend less time on paperwork and more time with patients, getting people home to their families faster and freeing up beds for those who need them most.' The AI tool for discharge summaries is one of a number of projects to be backed by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. In January, he said AI will be used to 'turn around' the economy and public services. Elsewhere, the Government has announced that technology shown to halve the time probation officers spend organising notes will be given to all 12,000 probation officers later this year. The system helps to transcribe and take notes from meetings that officers have with offenders after they leave prison. Speaking on a visit to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said: 'This is exactly the kind of change we need, AI being used to give doctors, probation officers and other key workers more time to focus on delivering better outcomes and speeding up vital services. 'This Government inherited a public sector decimated by years of underinvestment and is crying out for reform. 'These AI exemplars show the best ways in which we're using tech to build a smarter, more efficient state. 'When we get this right across government, we're talking about unlocking £45 billion in productivity gains, delivering our plan for change and investing in growth, not bureaucracy.'
