Chris Hughes has opened up about his worrying health scare on Friday after finding a ‘small lump’ on his testicles.
The former Love Island star, 32, urged men to get checked after he confirmed the lump got the all clear on his Snapchat.
He wrote: ‘Boys just had a check up on the balls, small lump, thankfully all clear and nothing to worry about.
‘Yes because of what my family have been through, the documentary we made, I prioritise this, but keep em checked and get them looked at it be sure 🙂 [sic]’
Back in 2018, Chris underwent a testicular exam live on This Morning, prompting his brother Ben, who is now cancer free, to check his testicles, and discover a lump which doctors later found to be cancerous.

He was keen to raise awareness of testicular cancer and other related issues and lowered his pants in order that Dr Chris Steele could show how an examination takes place.
Chris happily showed off a long scar on his own testicle as he spoke about his own shock health scare and telling Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes about what his male relatives went through.
Speaking about that live exam on This Morning previously, Chris said: ‘I didn’t think it would ever go as widespread as it did.
‘I wanted to do it initially as my cousin had testicular cancer, which became secondary in his abdomen.
‘For him, he missed it initially. And I’ve had obviously operations on my testicles, which plays out within the documentary, but the way it was received was quite astonishing.
‘It’s something I wanted to do, it’s something which meant something to me. It’s had something like 39-40 million views on Facebook…
‘It’s just been a really positive thing and it’s helped a lot of people along the way, and we can’t complain about that.’
The update comes after Chris revealed his relationship status with JoJo Siwa, after the singer confirmed their romance with a sweet on-stage tribute.

The ITV star had a simple one-word answer when asked whether he and JoJo were in a relationship.
The presenter answered: ‘Happy. That’s my relationship status – happy. Yeah, I’m just happy that’s good. I’m happy with that.’
However despite the guarded answer, Chris still gushes about his close relationship with JoJo, admitting she’s become his ‘favourite topic of conversation.’
He said: ‘She’s just just my favourite human and somebody I can literally talk about relentlessly.’
