Coronation Street's Sue Nicholls got a cancerous mole checked out after a viewer watching the soap at home noticed it. The actress, who plays Audrey Roberts, took action after Anna Bianconi-Moore, a specialist skin care nurse, wrote a letter to ITV urging her to get the irregular mole looked at by a professional.
While watching a scene that saw Audrey wearing a night dress, Anna spotted a concerning mark on the soap star's skin. She told the Daily Mail: “I noticed it was irregular in shape and had at least three different colours. These are two of the red-flag signals that distinguish the most deadly form of skin cancer – malignant melanoma."
Anna said she was "incredibly worried" for Sue and felt she had to do something. “I wrote that I had observed a sinister-looking lesion and suggested that Sue should see a specialist, sooner rather than later, as it may require urgent attention," she explained.
