The Only Way Is Essex star Bobby Norris has told men to “check themselves” after finding a lump.
The 37-year-old said on Instagram he is going to hospital for further tests as his doctor “wasn’t really happy” with the irregularity, and he urged women and girls to tell the men in their lives to check themselves.
He said: “Guys out there, check yourselves, girls, get the guys in your life, your partners, dads, brothers, whatever, to check themselves.
“I don’t really know what to say, but I found a lump and had gone to my doctor about it, and he wasn’t really happy with it, so I’ve been referred to go for further tests.
He told followers: “I wanted to jump on to say how important it is that we’re all checking ourselves.
“It’s a scary old thing, but then not knowing is going to be scarier.
“The moral of this story is that everyone should just check themselves whether they’re in the shower or bath, and if you notice any changes go to the doctor.
“I’m being a bit of a hypocrite because I felt the same when you first go into the doctors and you drop your Calvins, you think it’s someone having a rummage around, but it’s nothing a doctor hasn’t seen before.
“I think it’s important we don’t let fear and shame get in the way.”
Norris featured in the ITVBe series between 2012 and 2021, and has also appeared on Celebs Go Dating, Celebrity Ghost Hunt, and Celebs On The Farm.
