Millie Mackintosh set pulses racing in a series of snaps on Sunday.
The former Made in Chelsea star, Millie Mackintosh 34, took to her Instagram to share two topless photos to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Millie Mackintosh looked gorgeous as she posed in a pair of jeans with her wavy hair framing her face.
The blonde beauty held up a sign to cover her breasts which read ‘Look at your boobs!’ in hot pink graffiti-style writing.
A second sign simple had a stylised picture of breasts over a colourful painted background.
And the star looked radiant the Instagram post which she shared with her 1.3million followers.
In the caption she wrote: ‘This October, alongside the incredible teams at @pinkribbonfoundation and@women_in_art I’m so proud to be part of the #LookAtYourBoobs campaign, raising awareness for breast health.
‘I was genuinely shocked to hear that nearly half of British women still aren’t checking their breasts regularly, and it’s time we raise the conversation, and encourage more women to do it.
‘My wonderfully talented friend @laurastowersart will be releasing two beautiful prints for the campaign, with a portion of proceeds supporting @pink ribbonfoundation
For #FeelItOnTheFirst, join me in sharing a photo or video inspired by Laura’s artwork. Let’s spread the word, and make breast health awareness a priority all year round.’
Millie’s post comes after she spoke candidly in May about her own breast cancer scare.
In May the influencer took to social media to say she’d found a lump on the edge of her left breast recently and went straight to see her GP with her concerns.
She said that after her ultrasound came back as inconclusive and she had to have a biopsy to check for cancer she ‘spiralled into health anxiety’ while awaiting her results.
Millie Mackintosh. who shares two children, daughters Sienna, four, and Aurelia, two, with her husband Hugo Taylor – explained that even though she is in good health and had early detection she ‘couldn’t quieten her mind’ that the news would be bad.
What are the symptoms of breast cancer?
The usual first symptom is a painless lump in the breast, although most are not cancerous and are fluid filled cysts, which are benign.
The first place that breast cancer usually spreads to is the lymph nodes in the armpit.
If this occurs you will develop a swelling or lump in an armpit.
Happily when she did get her results it showed that it was a benign lump with no cancerous cells that was most likely caused by hormonal changes – which she said led to ‘the most elation she had ever felt before’.
She penned in a lengthy post: ‘PSA: Ladies make sure you to check your breasts!
‘Firstly, I want to say, I’m incredibly fortunate that my experience of finding a lump resulted in a clear diagnosis. For the 55,000 Women & Men diagnosed with Breast Cancer each year, their story & journeys are unbelievably heroic.
‘Last month I discovered a lump on the edge of my left breast. Although I tried to stop my mind from racing, the worry crept in very quickly. I knew this was not something to ignore so I booked in with my GP.
‘Under NHS guidelines, if your symptoms could indicate cancer, your GP will refer you on a two-week urgent referral, so a specialist can see you ASAP.’
She continued: ‘Upon examination with my GP and given my age, I was referred for an Ultrasound rather than a Mammogram.
Unfortunately the results were inconclusive and a biopsy was needed. At this point all rational thinking went out the window & I spiraled into my health anxiety. Even the statistics based on my family history (none), physical health (good) age & early detection, couldn’t quieten my mind.
‘I decided whilst waiting for the results I’d try to take a more positive approach. In the day I’d talk to family & close friends (some of which had been through the same) which really helped, but the nights were hard, as I only had my own thoughts and struggled to sleep.
Results day finally arrived and the relief of a benign lump with no detection of dangerous cancerous cells, was an elation I had never felt before. It’s believed the lump was likely caused by hormonal changes and didn’t need removing.
‘With 1 in 20 lumps deemed potentially concerning, early detection is one of the most important steps, so please put a few minutes aside for your monthly MOT and don’t put it off!’
She ended her post by saying: ‘We’re so lucky to be surrounded by those who tirelessly campaign for awareness.
‘There are so many incredible charities, but I felt an instant connection to @coppafeel whose mission is to ensure early accurate detection in young people, by focusing on educating & empowering women to know and fight for their bodies.’
