Danielle Lloyd has revealed her cancer fears after a terrifying dash to A&E after she discovered she was bleeding.
The 39-year-old model and reality star is already a mum-of-five – with four sons and one daughter; Archie, 13, Harry, 12, nine-year-old George and one-year-old Autumn.
Danielle – who shares three of her sons with ex-husband Jamie O’Hara, and her two youngest with electrician husband Michael O’Neill – had been planning a sixth child.
However, she is now anxiously awaiting results of medical tests after she experienced heavy bleeding which led doctors to discover cysts on both her ovaries.
Danielle was rushed to A&E after experiencing bleeding in what she thought was a miscarriage. However, doctors ruled a pregnancy out and discovered cysts on her ovaries, one of which was the size of a tennis ball.

Dannielle Lloyd has issued a distressing health update (@missdlloyd/Instagram)Opening up about her ordeal to OK! magazine, Danielle explained that doctors discovered she had developed a thickened lining of her womb as well as the cysts on her ovaries and has shared her fears as she awaits her results.
The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant said: “When you hear the word cancer, you just think, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to die.’
“I just can’t stop crying and have said to Michael, ‘I don’t want to leave my kids.’
“I’m trying to stay positive for them, but it’s been horrendous. I’m sat here every day thinking, ‘Am I going to be OK?’ I’ll be driving down the road and then burst into tears. I just feel like an emotional wreck and it’s exhausting.”
The reality star has five children - including two with husband Michael O'Neill (@missdlloyd/Instagram)Danielle now anticipates she will need to undergo a hysterectomy regardless of the results and she has been advised not to have any more children.
She said: “The doctor has advised me not to have any more children and whatever the results, I have thickening of the womb, which can eventually lead to cancer anyway.”
The former WAG added: “I’ve spoken to a few friends and they were like, ‘Oh God, are you ready to go through menopause?’ But at the end of the day, I do have five kids, which I’m thankful for.“
Danielle has spoken out about her ordeal to highlight the early symptom which she had dismissed in the hope that others will get themselves checked sooner.
She explained: “Before the bleeding, the first symptoms I had were feeling dazed and just not feeling like myself. I just knew something wasn’t right.”

Danielle welcomed her daughter Autumn in November 2021 and had been dreaming of welcoming a second daughter to her family.
She said previously: “I just can’t imagine Autumn not having a sister to play with.
“I just think it’s nice to have sisters together so they’ve always got each other’s backs. Girls can be quite bitchy, can’t they?”
She added: “I never had a sister, so I think it would be nice for Autumn. I’m thinking of her more than me.”
While in another interview she said: “I’ve always loved the idea of having a big family. I'd have ten more kids if I could afford it – but I'd be doing the school-run with my zimmer frame.”
