Shirley Ballas is considering having her breast implants removed after discovering a cancer link in her family.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge found out on BBC One series ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ that the disease was prominent in her family tree and now she is thinking it would be a good "safety precaution" to remove the implants so her mammograms are as clear as possible.
She told The Sunday Times newspaper: "I’ve had breast augmentation. It makes me take a step back and think when you go for these mammograms. ‘Can you see at the back? Is it clear what you can see?’ It’s making me sit back and think, ‘Shall I remove them? Would it be a good safety precaution for me?’"
Meanwhile, the 58-year-old dancer previously opened up about a breast cancer scare she had and urged her fans to stay vigilant.
She shared at the time: "@nhs_inc I do not have enough words to express my gratitude to the NHS. I had a routine check at the doctors and she was not happy with what she felt and saw in my breast. Immediately sent me to Clatterbridge hospital for a mammogram and ultra sound. I urge all women particularly over 50 to get checked. We go about our daily lives always busy and sometimes ignoring our body. If something changes externally or you have any discomfort at all it’s your body telling you ‘take care of me’
"DONT PUT IT OFF. Early detection is key to getting better. I have Cancer in my family line so I will be being vigilant ,, To all the beautiful women out there young and old get checked regularly. We have one beautiful body we need to keep it well taken care of. Thank you again to the NHS for being so marvelous. #gratitude #NHS #breastcancer #takecare #selfcare #nationalhealthservice #yourbody (sic)"
