Danielle Lloyd has revealed she underwent more surgery amid her battle with skin cancer.
The mother-of-five was diagnosed with melanoma in February and went under the knife to remove a mole above her collarbone earlier this year.
On Tuesday, 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.’

Showing off the markings on her stomach ahead of surgery, 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’.
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’.
She added the hashtags: ‘#SkinCancerAwareness #Melanoma #StaySafeInTheSun #GetChecked #SunSafety #protectyourskin’.

Danielle then shut down misinformation around SPF after a fan commented: ‘Check ingredients in Sun cream !! Chemicals awareness’.
The former pageant queen responded: ‘that’s actually false information and it’s people posting causing people to believe it if suncream was harmful it wouldn’t be sold in shop out beauty and health industry is so heavily regulated honestly it’s a load of rubbish x
‘When I went to Westminster a few weeks ago to speak about sun safety I was told it’s false information?
‘Some no branded ones maybe but people on TikTok have been spouting false information and making people throw away suncream and not use it which is so dangerous xx’
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.
Most recently, Sam Faiers 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’.

Elsewhere in the comments, Danielle revealed how she came across the mole.
She explained: ‘the specialist actually recommended this one be removed I went for my 6 month check and they just said as precaution they wanted to remove.’
She also put a fan at ease who was also due to have a mole removed but was worried it would be painful.
Danielle shared: ‘They give you anaesthetic injections to numb the area so you don’t feel it just feels like tugging.’
While Danielle was praised by many for helping to spread awareness, the following morning she revealed that vile trolls had also commented on the post.
She revealed she’d been branded: ‘old, haggard, too thin, basically disgusting’.
Hitting back on her Stories, she shared: ‘I don’t give a f**k if you think I look old, I’m 41, I’m not 20 no more.
‘I’ve got five beautiful kids, I’ve got a lovely husband, I’ve got a lovely life.
‘If you think I’m old and haggard then fine but your opinion does not matter to me… ‘They’re just weird, weird people, get a life.’
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
Earlier this year Danielle revealed to her fans she had been diagnosed with skin cancer in an emotional post.
Struggling to hold back the tears, the heartbroken star said: ‘I don’t really know how to say this and I didn’t know whether to come on and say this but I feel like I have to raise awareness of this kind of thing happening to other people.
‘Today I have been diagnosed with a form of skin cancer.’
She urged: ‘I just want to raise awareness for anyone who thinks they’ve got something funny on their body, they see a mole growing, which is not normal – please please please go to your doctor because honestly, you just never know.’
The model went on to say that she’d been ‘really shocked’ by what she’d been told earlier in the day, but before going on to praise the Macmillan nurses at the hospital for their support.
