The 44-year-old TV presenter visited her general practitioner (GP) on Saturday (14.03.26) to get it looked at, days after learning her friend Mel’s non-disclosed ordeal, which gave Anna a wake-up call not to ignore symptoms and to prioritise health checks.
Anna posted a selfie of herself in the clinic’s waiting room on Instagram on Saturday with the caption: “I was reminded this week how precious life is. How fragile our health is and how often I may personally take it for granted.
“Now, I joke about being a hypochondriac (and tbh I can be at times) but in truth I tend to focus on those around me more health wise than myself because I am so used to being in that role.
“This week one of my friends was given the worst news anyone can get and reminded us all that if it doesn’t feel right, get it checked. So I’ve listened.
“I’ve had a large cyst ‘down there’ for some time, it’s been checked but not for a long while and it’s been bothering me again.
“I was putting off getting it checked as I’ve been busy. But I realised that was not the advice I give, nor is being given to me.
“So yesterday I rang the GP, they were fantastic and I got an appointment today (I know, incredible!) with their Saturday clinic to get checked. (sic)”
The Celebs Go Dating agent was relieved that the cyst was “not of concern and is purely cosmetic”, and she has now been referred to a gynaecologist.
Anna added: “A few minutes of having an examination (by a male GP who was excellent + very knowledgeable) has been priceless in giving me peace of mind. (sic)”
The former children’s TV presenter has urged her followers not to “ignore things in your body that feel off”.
Anna continued: “We’ve all got genitals and no one particularly loves whipping them out for examining, but remember, the docs see willy’s, vag’s, boobs, bums aaaallll the time.
“They give zero s**** whether you’re super clean/shaved/got good undies on. They are there to do their job and look after you.
“From something so horribly cruel happening to one of the bravest people I know, I want to share Mel’s selfless advice to ‘just get it checked because it might just save your life. (sic)'”
