Former TOWIE Star Urges Women to Not Fear Breast Cancer Checks Following Scare
Attwood says 38% of women neglect their health as she backs a campaign with Tombola and Breast Cancer Now to encourage breast checks.
- Reality TV star Olivia Attwood has launched a campaign with Tombola and Breast Cancer Now to encourage women to check their breasts regularly and overcome embarrassment surrounding medical examinations.
- Attwood, 35, was motivated after finding a "quite a sizeable lump" on her breast in 2020, which was biopsied and found benign but later removed, teaching her the importance of vigilance.
- Research from Tombola and Breast Cancer Now found that 38% of women admit to neglecting their health. Attwood said "the whole takeaway from this is community, friendship, and encouraging your friends to check their breasts."
- During a podcast episode releasing on Thursday, Attwood discussed the topic with Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle, reflecting on how young women are often "scared" to check their breasts.
- Attwood urged women not to let embarrassment prevent life-saving checks, saying "you can't die out of embarrassment" and "you need to get out of your own head and realise these checks could save your life.
