A tanning addict who used sunbeds five times a week was hit with a devastating cancer diagnosis aged just 21.
Jak Howell first started using sunbeds when he was just 16, and it soon spiralled into an obsession. He would tan for 18 minutes at a time, lying under UV lights for well over an hour every week. and said he played down his sunbed addiction to his mum after she voiced concern about it.
In April 2021 he noticed an aggravated mole that later started to bleed, and he was diagnosed with melanoma, a type of skin cancer often caused by too much sun exposure, Wales Online reports.
