Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague has issued a warning to her fans to get their moles checked over after discovering she was ‘walking around with skin cancer on her leg’ after having it removed

Molly-Mae Hague said she was in tears when she found out the mole she had removed on her leg was cancerous.

She’s urging her legion of fans to get their moles checked out after suffering a cancer scare.

The former Love Islander, 21, was left “upset and angry” as she discussed what happened with her mole in a new YouTube video.

She learned it was a type of skin cancer – malignant melanoma – during a work trip to Italy.

Molly-Mae said: “I cannot believe I was told by others doctors it was OK. I am so upset and angry. I just briefly asked this doctor when I was walking out. I was walking around with skin cancer on my leg.

“If I hadn’t of asked, I’d still have that mole on my leg now and I’d be none the wiser. It could be spreading through my body, you just never know.”

However worried Molly-Mae eventually got a third professional opinion during a routine check-up as she felt something wasn’t quite right.
