Danielle Lloyd, 41, has displayed her weight loss after losing two stone from stress following shock cancer diagnosis that left her fearing she was ‘going to die’
The model and TV host was diagnosed with the deadliest form of skin cancer, Melanoma, in February and was so terrified she struggled to eat and sleep.
Danielle shares Archie, 14, Harry, 13, and George, 11, with ex-husband Jamie O’Hara. She is mother to Ronnie, seven, and Autumn Rose, three, with husband Michael O’Neill.
Symptoms of melanoma include a new mole or changes to an existing mole, which is exactly what happened to the star, when she noticed one on her collarbone was changing shape.
After tragically losing a friend to bowel cancer the previous year, she knew it was worth investigating and visited her GP, who referred her onto a dermatologist who advised removal.
This took place in December, but Danielle had to wait an agonising nine weeks before she was diagnosed with melanoma.
Recalling her reaction, she said: ‘I just burst into tears. I wasn’t expecting it. When I heard the word ‘cancer’, I just thought, “That’s it, I’m going to die.”‘
She then had to have the skin surrounding the mole removed as a preventative measure as doctors worked to establish whether or not the cancer had spread.
Danielle said she told her older kids who were old enough to understand that she had cancer but refrained from telling her younger children as she did not want them to jump to the worst case scenario.
Thankfully, eight weeks after her February procedure, Danielle was told she was cancer free.

Danielle shared a tearful video to Instagram in February which she revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer after noticing a change to one of her moles.
She then detailed the emotional moment she told her eldest sons Archie – who she welcomed with her ex-husband Jamie O’Hara – about her diagnosis.
Danielle revealed she hasn’t told her two younger children – who she shares with her husband Michael O’Neill – because they wouldn’t understand.
‘I told the older three but not the younger two. Ronnie is at an age where he wouldn’t really understand, he’d hear that word and think I was going to die,’ she told Closer.
‘It was difficult telling the older boys, Harry asked me if my hair was going to fall out.
‘It’s hard because they’re still young, so I don’t know if they fully understand – which is a good thing because I don’t want to put a strain on them.’
Danielle also recalled the moment she was told she had skin cancer after she visited the doctors to get a ‘very small’ mole on her collarbone checked when she noticed it had changed shape.
It is not the first time Danielle has had a cancer scare as she was rushed to hospital in 2023 after suffering from heavy bleeding.
Doctors then discovered she had large cysts on her ovaries, but was thankfully told they were non-cancerous after undergoing a biopsy.
She also found a lump in her breast last year and was given the all-clear in October after a biopsy discovered the lump was benign.
