Mark Wright has opened up about a health scare that left him fearing he had cancer earlier this year and shared “you’re not immortal”. The former The Only Way is Essex star, 35, revealed he underwent surgery at the end of last year to remove armpit lump amid fears the growth could turn cancerous. After seeing a doctor, the lump began to grow, which caused him to become more concerned.
Mark, who’s married to popular actress Michelle Keegan, then saw a breast consultant specialist and was told the growth was benign. But, he was referred to another specialist after an MRI as the specialist didn't "want to rule out the worst" due to the speed the mass was growing and the size it had become.

Seven months on, the reality star has spoken to The Mirror about how the scare has affected him. He said: "I've always been quite aware of my health. "I wouldn't say I'm a hypochondriac but I definitely always get checks.
If I ever feel anything's not completely right, I'll go and get it checked out." The star continued: "But it has scared me because it makes you feel you're not immortal. "You always think: 'Ah yes, it's not going to happen to me'. And then when something like that happens, it does give you a bit of a fear." Recovering from the operation also took its toll on the TV favourite who described the aftermath as “quite painful”.
