Danielle Lloyd has revealed she is still awaiting results from a biopsy following a terrifying second cancer scare.
The 41-year-old model, who is now cancer free, was diagnosed with melanoma in February and went under the knife to remove a mole above her collarbone earlier this year.
The mother-of-five returned to hospital just weeks ago to have a second suspicious mole biopsied on her stomach.
After a ‘really difficult’ waiting game of the results of her first biopsy, Danielle heartbreakingly opened up on the similar process she is going through all over again.
Speaking to The Sun about her new cancer scare, Danielle said: ‘The first one was a 14 week wait and this one has only been a couple of weeks so far, so I’m still waiting.
‘With the latest one was on my stomach, they doctors said I’ll have a big scar and I was like “I don’t care”, I can have as many scars in the world, as long as I’m okay.

She added: ‘It was really really difficult, I sort of just got on with it and as the time went on you sort of think ‘no news is good news’ but obviously it wasn’t the best news. But luckily enough the first one has all been taken now.’
Danielle revealed she had undergone another operation after spotting an unusual mole on her torso that needed to be sent off for a biopsy.
Taking to Instagram, she shared a video of her experience, revealing that while the procedure was quick and painless, she would have to wait two months to find out whether the mole was cancerous.
Showing off the mole in her video, she explained: ‘It only looks small but it’s definitely changed in colour and size.’
Documenting her time in hospital, she confessed: ‘I was a little bit apprehensive when I was waiting but then I was absolutely fine going in.’
She added: ‘I had to laugh because it looked like they’d drawn the evil eye on my belly.’
Danielle then showed off her scar as she continued: ‘When I got home I was a little bit sore and a little bit swollen but overall I’m just looking forward to getting some positive results.’
She finished her video by urging her followers to ‘know the signs [of skin cancer] and protect yourself from the sun’.

There are three types of skin cancer. Each can present itself in different ways. These include moles that are either asymmetrical or abnormal, scaly or dark patches and waxy bumps on the surface of the skin
Danielle captioned the clip: ‘Trigger Warning ⚠️ Today I had another surgery to remove another mole — this time on my stomach. We’re hoping it’s just a precaution, but I’ll be waiting 8–10 weeks for results.
‘Please don’t ignore any changes to your skin. I never thought this would happen to me… until it did. Early detection saves lives — skin cancer is highly treatable when caught early.
‘If something doesn’t look or feel right, see a doctor. Protect your skin: ☀️ Use high SPF. Cover up. Say no to sunbeds. Look after yourself and those around you’.
Danielle also hit out at the celebrities and influencers spreading ‘false information’ on social media about sunscreen being ‘toxic and causing cancer’.
She said: ‘I think people giving false information is so bad. People can use their platforms to spread it, but they don’t understand or they think they might have looked into it but they’ve just seen someone else telling lies.’
It comes after Sam Faiers admitted she doesn’t put sunscreen on her children in a controversial statement on SPF, where she claimed some brands are ‘harmful’ and full of ‘toxic ingredients’.
In recent months, doctors have been forced to speak out after videos claiming sun tan lotion contains chemicals that are ‘more cancerous than the sun’, have racked up tens of thousands of views on TikTok.
Among those peddling the information are influencers with thousands of followers, including Lauryn Goodman and Kelsey Parker.

Sam was branded ‘irresponsible and naive’ by a horrified skin doctor after admitting her three children don’t wear sunscreen because she wrongly claimed many SPF brands are ‘harmful’

Most recently, Sam was branded ‘irresponsible and naive’ by a horrified skin doctor after admitting her three children don’t wear sunscreen because she wrongly claimed many SPF brands are ‘harmful’.
Dr Perry, who is the owner of skin clinics chain Cosmedics, claimed the reality star is ‘misleading’ fans into not using sunscreen on their children and it can ‘double the risk of getting skin cancer’ as they ‘do not build up a tolerance to sun exposure’.
Sam revealed that she doesn’t use suncream on her children by sharing a snap of her youngest son Edward, two, playing in the shade.
She wrote: ‘So this is always a bit of a controversial one, but honestly, me and my whole family don’t actually wear sunscreen.
‘Over the years, the kids have built up a really good tolerance to being in the sun. Of course if it’s really hot and the sun feels too harsh I’ll make sure we head into the shade… usually around lunchtime we’ll go in, have something to eat and just avoid those peak hours.
‘I’m really careful about sunscreen in general, because a lot of them are actually pretty harmful and full of toxic ingredients.’
