Faye Winter's breast cancer scare as she feared her life was 'falling apart'

Faye Winter has shared her worries that she had breast cancer as she said her life was "falling apart".

The former Love Island star opened up about finding a lump in her breast, leading her to have sleepless nights. She was thankfully given the all-clear but wanted to raise awareness due to it being breast cancer awareness month.

She took to her Instagram page where she shared her story and talked about how important it is to be checked. After explaining that one in right people will be diagnosed with breast cancer, she said in June she was given the all-clear.

Faye wrote: "I was so lucky back in June to be given the all clear on a lump I had found a couple of months prior and so many will also be given good news but it doesn’t make those few weeks or months any easier. Checking our breasts and pecks is essential. It’s okay to be nervous and scared but don’t put it off and don’t shy away because getting it checked is the first step to getting the all clear."

She posted a photo of herself in a waiting room as she waited for her results. She added: "Here I was sat with my mum, hadn’t slept for days before going in for my scans thinking 'what else could go wrong this year' but yet putting in to perspective how small those issues were, on top of trying to put on a brave face. I felt like everything was falling apart and I just needed some good news."

The former estate agent finished off her post by saying: " I wasn’t sure on sharing my little story to begin with because 1 it seemed so tiny in comparison to others and 2 because I had so much going on I wanted to sweep it under the carpet, however as soon as I shared the amount of messages I got from you saying you’d checked was incredible and I’m so glad I did. Now by the time you’ve read this you could of checked yours! So do it now."

Faye has had more than one obstacle thrown at her this year after splitting up with Teddy Soares. The pair got with one another when they both took part in the Love Island 2022's summer series. After their split Faye accused him of cheating on her through cryptic online posts.
