A woman has revealed the deadly side effects to her tanning obsession – after the quest for a healthy golden glow left her with skin cancer and a “hole” in her head.
Nickie Murtagh, 37, from London, started to use sunbeds in her early 20s as her friend owned a sun bed shop.
Nickie – who is mum to Sophie, 19, Ruby, 15, and Ryan, 13 – started to steadily increase her use until she was hooked – jumping on the sunbed up to twice a week.
