Natasha Hamilton Diagnosed With Skin Cancer

Natasha Hamilton, 42, member of Atomic Kitten, revealed she was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer, after noticing a persistent itchy spot on her back, which was initially a longstanding freckle, following a holiday in Majorca. The concern arose after weeks of itching, leading her husband to photograph the spot and prompting her to seek medical advice. Hamilton attributes her diagnosis partly to frequent sunbed use during the late 1990s and early 2000s. She is now cancer-free after having the affected skin removed, but she remains vigilant, undergoing regular skin checks and having other suspicious spots examined since her diagnosis. Hamilton shared her experience to raise awareness about the risks of UV exposure, emphasizing the importance of monitoring skin changes. She encourages others to be proactive about skin health.
