Abi Phillips, who played Liberty Savage on the Channel 4 soap, shared the news to her Instagram page, not long after receiving the shocking diagnosis.
The star could be seen wearing a face mask and hospital gown in a string of selfies, alongside a caption which read: "So, I took these pictures before my scans and after my biopsy having a good old laugh about how ridiculously dressed up I looked in the hospital before a gig, not expecting for one moment to get the news that I did two weeks later."
The actress-turned-singer went on to explain how she had previously been told by doctors that there was nothing wrong, when she went to get tow lumps in her neck tested, The Mirror reports. She decided to seek a second opinion for "peace of mind".
