Reality star Shelby Tribble has shared she has undergone a biopsy on a worrying lump she found in her breast.
The TOWIE star shared she had a recent breast cancer scare after spotting the lump. Shelby, 30, opened up on undergoing a biopsy this year, as she urged her fans to make sure their check for lumps.
Sharing the shock news with her social media followers, Shelby also took the opportunity to encourage any of her followers to get “checked”. And told them to keep a keen eye on any changes in their breasts, as well as making sure they go to the doctor as soon as possible if there are any worries.

She shared a photograph of herself reading a leaflet on breast cancer awareness in the hospital. And Shelby also showed her followers a letter she’d been given with information on biopsies.
“I noticed a lump in my boob but didn’t think anything of it (which is silly),” the mum-of-one, who shares son Abel with fellow TOWIE star Sam Mucklow, revealed. “I thought it had got bigger so went to my GP who referred me to be checked ASAP. They think the lump is a Fibroadenoma but I had a biopsy taken today just to be safe.”
Urging her fans not to ignore any possible symptoms or signs of breast cancer, Shelby carried on: “Always check your boobies ladies for any bumps, lumps, changes and make sure you see the GP straight away.” Shelby has previously had breast implants fitted in the past after suffering from nasty comments and bullying over her “flat chest”.
The bullying over the size of her boobs led to the reality star struggling to look in the mirror because she constantly felt like her body wasn’t “good enough”. When Shelby turned 21, she finally decided to get surgery and have a boob job in a bid to increase her confidence in her appearance.
The brunette beauty chose to increase her bra-size from an A to a C cup and went under the knife at 22, eight years ago. In a past interview the star said: “Being flat chested used to really bother me — as a teenager I used to put fillers in my bra.”
This recent breast cancer scare comes after a tough couple of months for the mum-of-one, as it was revealed in October that Shelby and her partner Sam had reportedly decided to end their relationship after four years together. So far both have declined to comment on the reports and are yet to announce their “split” publicly.

A source told The Sun: “They’re still co-parenting their child together and want to keep things normal for Abel”. The social media influencer also shared a telling TikTok clip amongst sweet snaps with her son of her miming the lyrics to a rap track earlier this month.
In the fun video she mouthed “just get your s**t and go” and smiled to the camera. And her friend Chloe Lewis wrote in the comments: “Sorry the last one had killed me.”
“Hahahaa you just know,” Shelby replied with a laughing emoji, while her pal then shot back: “ohh I know girllll Beautiful as always.” The insider told the newspaper that the “romantic relationship is over” and Shelby is being supported by her family and friends.
