TOWIE’s Amber Turner has revealed she was recently left fearing she had breast cancer after discovering a lump in her armpit.
The TV personality star, 30, made the discovering while filming the ITV2 reality show in Bali, before doctors informed her that the cause was her ruptured breast implants which were leaked silicone into her lymph nodes.
Amber, who has had two breast augmentations, told The Sun she believed gruelling fights with her co-stars including eventual winner Gareth Gates on Channel 4’s Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins, which filmed in Thailand in 2022, was likely the cause.
Saying: ‘The only thing I can think of is that I did SAS and maybe I was grappling with someone or maybe when I had a fight with someone. I had a fight with Gareth [Gates]. It is crazy.’
Amber recalled her doctors visit in Bali and said she immediately feared the worst after discovering the lump.
