• The former Towie star had surgery in December to remove a 12cm mass from under his armpit.
• Despite recovering well, Wright still experiences some after effects seven months later.
• The 35-year-old has said the experience has made him realise he is “not immortal”.

Mark Wright has said his recent cancer scare has shaken him up as it made him realise he is “not immortal”.

The 35-year-old former Towie star underwent surgery in December to remove a 12 cm armpit mass that was so huge that it was plainly evident in pictures he had shared with fans earlier.

Wright has stated that although though he does not have cancer and is recovering well from the operation, he still experiences some after effects seven months later, including having to face his concerns of contracting a catastrophic illness.

“You always think: ‘Ah yes, it’s not going to happen to me’. And then when something like that happens, it does give you a bit of a fear.”

He said that he had also given careful consideration to how serious the operation was, as well as what could go wrong from it.

Wright said: “I chose my surgeon wisely because you can really mess the nerves up and, to be fair, even now down on my forearm, my skin stings a little bit.”

He admitted that he occasionally still experiences “weird sensations and pins and needles” while discussing the surgical side effects that annoy him even months later, but noted that he had recovered well.

Fitness enthusiast Wright, who with his brother just established a personal training app, also admitted that it had been difficult to be unable to continue his usual workout routine in the gym while waiting for his scars to heal.
