The I’m A Celebrity host has been flooded with messages of support from her famous followers.
Much loved TV presenter and comedian Julia Morris has urged her followers to wear sunscreen after she was recently diagnosed with skin cancer. The beloved I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! host and mother-of-two, 56, shared a photo of herself on Instagram on Friday morning lying in a hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around her forehead.
“How is your 50+ working out for you? I wish I had used it more in my life. Another pretty big skin cancer removed this week,” she wrote.
“Going to have to up my eyebrow drawing game. The Aussie sun is no joke and while I lived like a pig on a spit in my 20s, I’m absolutely suffering the consequences now. Please slip slop slap & as always, early detection is the key. Big love to Dr Sheridan and the glorious team at Phoenix Dermatology & the Avenue Hospital for all the TLC this week.”

Sunrise star's cancer diagnosis
Julia’s post comes just a few weeks after Sunrise presenter Edwina Bartholomew revealed live on-air that she had been diagnosed with cancer. The newsreader told viewers that it was “a shock to say” but remained very positive that she found it early and that it's treatable.
She revealed she “had no symptoms” or “warning signs” with the cancer she has, chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), and doctors only found it because she decided to have a routine health check when she turned 40. She revealed that she feels very “grateful” to know her life expectancy won't change and that she can treat it with a daily tablet.

Through her tears, she said: “Despite appearances, I feel really positive about it. It genuinely is the luckiest, unlucky thing to ever happen to me. I'm just beyond grateful I found it and beyond grateful it's the best-case scenario.”
