Olympic athlete, Strictly Come Dancing Star and local family man Greg is encouraging men to check their testicles for lumps, after he reveals he ignored his.
Greg, who lives in Woburn Sands, revealed in his latest Instagram post that his "mental health took a bit of a beating" during lockdown after discovering a lump on his testicles.
The 33 year old openly writes that "fear set in" and after trying to ignore it and creating distractions he had the lump checked and was told he has cysts - a fluid build up.
Greg is now encouraging other men to "Keep checking and if you find something, take it seriously."
According to the NHS, Cancer of the testicle is one of the less common cancers, and tends to mostly affect men between 15 and 49 years of age.
Typical symptoms are a painless swelling or lump in 1 of the testicles, or any change in shape or texture of the testicles.
The NHS website suggests that it is important to be aware of what feels normal for you. Get to know your body and see a GP if you notice any changes.
