Former Hollyoaks star Abi Phillips has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer at just 28 years old. The news has been shared by the actress on Instagram. She explained that she had previously been told two lumps in her neck were nothing to worry about.
Seeking a second opinion, the star, who played character Liberty Savage in the long-running Channel 4 show, then received the devastating news that the lumps were in fact cancer. Taking to Instagram, Abi explained: "So, I took these pictures before my scans and after my biopsy having a good old laugh about how ridiculously dressed up I looked in the hospital before a gig, not expecting for one moment to get the news that I did two weeks later."
