David Seaman’s Dancing on Ice wife Frankie Poultney opens up on cancer scare
Football legend David Seamen’s wife, Frankie Poultney, has spoken about her cancer fears, and how David supported her, after she found lumps on her breasts.
Former Dancing On Ice pro Frankie, 50, was alarmed to find a lump in her breast back in January and sought out medical advice as soon as possible.
She has discussed her health scare - and praised her husband David, 59, who she has been married to since 2015 and they share two children together, for his support.
Frankie has also called on other women to regularly check their breasts for lumps and not to hesitate contacting health professionals if they find something suspicious.

“This time I initially thought it was an ingrown hair as it was further round, in the armpit area. But it became quite hard and obvious and was pulling my skin, sort of puckering it in that area, so I phoned my GP right away to get it checked. They referred me to the breast clinic at the local hospital.
She said: “I’m a really practical person, so my first thought was, ‘What’s my plan of action here? Don’t panic. Let’s get it looked at so we know what we’re dealing with’.”

And after being deferred to a specialist, Frankie was relieved to learn that the lump was a non-cancerous cyst known as fibroadenoma.
Frankie went on to thank David for his support during her ordeal.
She said: "My husband is always incredibly supportive. He’s the first person I turn to if I need help or advice and he’s always with me.
“He is a huge source of comfort and rock-solid support in times of crisis. He doesn’t try to sugar-coat anything or pretend to understand how I’m feeling. He just listens and provides excellent hugs.”
She urged others to regularly check themselves and to see their doctor if they find any lumps - saying that her own example proves that a lump does not necessarily mean that it will be cancer.
