Mark Wright shares health anxiety after he and his dad suffered cancer scares

Mark Wright has opened up about his health anxiety after he and his dad both suffered a cancer scare. Back in December, the Heart Radio presenter shared how he had found a lump under his arm which was 'growing quite fast'.

Sharing a post on Instagram, Mark revealed he had the huge 12cm tumour removed from his armpit alongside a series of photos after admitting it was a "tough call" to decide whether or not to speak about what he had been going through.

The 35-year-old explained a doctor "passed it on as 'a fatty lump that doesn’t need any treatment' so I just left it." He added: "After some time the lump grew and began to bother me. I am someone that when it comes to life in general, I leave no stone unturned. When it involves health, this idiom quadruples." The lump was thankfully later found to be benign and not cancerous.
