Ex EastEnders star Samantha Womack has shown off a new tattoo on her chest following her recent breast cancer ordeal.
The 50-year-old actress, who is best known for playing Ronnie Mitchell between 2007 until 2017, was given the all clear from the disease in December, five months after being diagnosed.
Taking to Instagram to share a sultry black and white image with her striped shirt unbuttoned, she revealed the special inking, which consists of a cross and moon design, as well as three upside-down triangles.
“Liverpool, tattoo finished on Bold Street,” she wrote in the accompanying caption, before heading to her Eurovision performance.
Previously admitting that she had not spotted any symptoms and a random health check led to doctors discovering a “little shadow,” she is now campaigning for young women all over the UK and Ireland to check their own breasts, in the hope that it could save lives.
Appearing on Loose Women on Tuesday, she revealed that since sharing her own experience, she has been inundated with messages from young women who are also going through a breast cancer diagnosis.
“Please check yourselves - young people too. It’s so important, please, please, it happens to young people too,” she said on the ITV daytime show.
