Best known as the co-host of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here , Morris has worked alongside prominent figures like Dr Chris Brown and young conservationist Robert Irwin. Her latest post is a stark reminder of the importance of skincare, especially for those in sun-drenched Australia. NHS advice says you should see a GP if you have any of the below symptoms:
-
you have a mole that’s changed size, shape or colour
-
you have a mole that’s painful or itchy
-
you have a mole that’s inflamed, bleeding or crusty
-
you have a new or unusual mark on your skin that has not gone away after a few weeks
-
you have a dark area under a nail that has not been caused by an injury
Skin cancer is a significant concern, particularly for individuals with a history of excessive sun exposure. Julia encouraged her followers to be proactive about their skin health, advocating for regular check-ups and sun safety. Age doesn’t necessarily matter when it comes to skin cancer, it’s crucial to prioritise your well-being and be aware of the risks posed by the sun.
