The Saturdays star, 36, was found to have a benign neck tumour last year after she underwent an MRI scan following constant headaches. 'I was so angry at myself for not going to the doctors sooner. I was convinced I was now dying and I probably could have done something to avoid it. Luckily for me, that wasn't the case.'.
Frankie explained the tumour is a benign subependymoma, which is very rare but is nothing to do with her headaches. Growing on her spinal cord and down the length of her neck, she revealed the doctors have decided not to remove it for now and will just monitor it for any change.
