The brunette beauty explained: “Good afternoon, everyone. Well, we’re just having a little check up with you, since several of you thought you saw a lump under my arm and I went to get that checked.
“Then the doctor said she thought my levels weren’t right, my hormone levels weren’t right. Anyway, so I went and had a lot of blood work done.”
She added: “And now the testosterone has come back ultra-high, the adrenal glands need a scan and my ovaries need a scan.
“My oestrogen levels are extremely low, all in all, a little concerning for my doctor … that’s where we are at the moment.”
