Myleene Klass was left 'terrified' after finding lumps in her breast. The Loose Women star said she first felt a strange lump while watching the tennis at Wimbledon - and rushed to her doctor to get them checked out.

Myleene, 48, posted a photo of herself topless, with pen marks inking out crosses under her arm where the lumps were investigated. She wrote on Instagram: "Girls. A massive reminder to check yourselves. I accidentally felt a lump when I was at Wimbledon watching the tennis. I casually folded my arms and there it was. Then a second one.

"The subsequent days went both quickly and agonisingly slowly. 3 cysts and 3 lymph nodes later, I'm okay, BUT the days of waiting meant I reorganised my life into a new set of priorities and 'what ifs', only to thankfully get the all clear and then experience the weird 'reordering' of going back to 'normal'.

The I'm A Celeb star continued: "I have close friends going through similar experiences [at the moment] and it's sobering, humbling and terrifying. It's the having kids that anyone who experiences anything near this will know to be the first and final concern.

"I haven't seen an ultrasound since my multiple [miscarriages] and that too was pretty sobering. All this to say, as a fierce advocate for women's health and not hiding what's uncomfortable, right now, check yourself and go get a second opinion."

Myleene added: "Kudos and eternal thanks to [talent agency] @the_mutha_ship who moved mountains lightning fast to get me seen and sorted and didn't take her foot off the gas. To those who don't have a Sev, look at this as your prompt from me. Check yourselves."

Fans rushed to the comments to share their support, with BBC star Lauren Laverne writing: "Love you xxx."

Broadcaster Kirsty Gallacher added: "Gosh darling, sending so much love amazing lady and glass all ok. Thank you for sharing. Love you." Another said: "So glad you are ok, so sorry you had to go through this, thank you so much for this post."
