Shehad an operation to remove a cancerous patch from just above her collarbone, after spotting a change in a small freckle.

She said the freckle was “smaller than a five pence coin”; but had started to raise alarm bells after she saw how much it had evolved over time.

She responded to one fan in the comments: “Mine was melenoma which was sun damage x”.

Danielle admitted she believed her tanned skin tone gave her some protection from cancer.

She admitted she rarely wore sunscreen with a high SPF, saying: “Honestly, if I did, it was very low factor as I go so brown very quickly. I never thought my skin tone could get skin cancer and if I did anyone can”.

The mum also said she had ditched sunbeds for the first time in her life.

Posting the update to her fans, Danielle urged others to be vigilant about any skin changes, especially those that may seem minor at first glance.

She said in the comments: “I used to be a total sun worshiper, never really thinking about the risk of skin cancer.

“Sunbeds before holidays? Absolutely! But now, I’ve decided it’s better to fake the glow because my health and being there for my kids are what truly matter.

“I'm still waiting on the results from my second operation”.

Danielle was pictured going for a spray tan at Exclusive Beauty Spa in Sutton Coldfield, adding: “I’m keeping my spirits up and pledging to keep my skin safe from those pesky UV rays in the future!”

She shared graphic images of the area post-surgery, showing stitches and bruising from the procedure, and stressed the importance of early detection.

Danielle previously explained she only noticed the difference after looking back at old holiday photos, where the mark appeared noticeably darker and had changed in shape.

The TV personality said she was “really shocked” to receive the news and would need to have an operation to determine if it has spread.

The mother-of-five used the opportunity to encourage others to see a doctor if they have noticed changes to their skin or body which could be a sign of cancer.

In the emotional video, she said: “I don't really know how to say this and I didn't know whether to come on and say this but I just feel like I have to raise awareness about this happening to other people.

“Today I have been diagnosed with a form of .

“And I just want to raise awareness for anyone who might think they've got something funny on their body, they see a mole that's growing that's not normal – please, please, please go to your doctor because honestly, you just never know.”

at the hospital has “really supported” her after she received the health news which had “really shocked” her.

She added: “Just honestly, not what I expected today. And I suppose not what anyone expects.

“But please guys look after your skin. Stay off sunbeds, wear factor 50. Just look after yourself because honestly you never know what's going to happen.”

The appearance of a lump or discoloured patch on the skin that continues to persist after a few weeks can be a sign of a form of skin cancer according to the NHS website.

A new mole or a change in an existing mole may also be signs of skin cancer.

During an appearance on ITV‘s in 2018, Danielle read out negative messages sent to her online, one of which described her as “wrecked and trashy” and that she “looks like a bloke”.
