Danielle Lloyd once shared her fears about when she was informed that her son would "more than likely" have a serious brain condition. This comes after the model and TV personality recently revealed herskin cancer diagnosis on Instagram Stories on Valentine's Day. In an emotional video, she confessed: "I don't really know how to say this and I didn't know whether to come on and say it but I feel like I have to raise awareness of this. Today I have been diagnosed with a form of skin cancer.".
She added: "You just never know. I'm really shocked at what I've been told today but I've been really supported by the Macmillan nurses at the hospital. "I am going to have to have an operation to see if it has spread. But yeah, just honestly, not what I expected today.". Danielle had previously discussed another family health concern on the Nappy Days podcast in 2021, where she spoke candidly about her son Harry's ADHD diagnosis to host Mia Boardman.
She expressed her reluctance to "label" Harry, but acknowledged the importance of securing the necessary support for him, noting his inability to sit still, frequent arguments and concentration issues. When asked by Mia about when she first noticed something was different, Danielle admitted she'd known since he was a baby. Danielle opened up about her concerns for her child's health from an early age, sharing with Mia: "I've noticed since he was a baby. Like, obviously, because he was born so early, they told me that he was more than likely going to have cerebral palsy. Yeah, I was, obviously, thinking the worst," reports the Liverpool Echo.
When prompted about the signs of ADHD, she observed key differences in his behavior compared to his brothers: "Obviously, having four boys, like, I noticed straight away that he was very different to the others.". She reiterated that he had trouble sitting still and would fidget, had issues concentrating in school, and would say the "most inappropriate things" at the "wrong time". Despite the challenges, she also highlighted his affectionate nature: "But he's just so loving, like, and he doesn't understand why he does some of the stuff he does, which is also really hard for him.".
However, she added that they could talk about what ADHD was and he could explain to his friends; for example, if he was being bullied, he could tell people that he has the condition. Following her own diagnosis, Danielle, mother to five children and married to Michael O'Neill, stressed the importance of seeking medical advice for suspicious symptoms: "Anyone who thinks they've got something funny on their body - please go to your doctor. You just never know.".
