    Katie Price is undergoing tests amid fears her cancer has returned 23 years after her first diagnosis

    The former glamour model, 47, was 24 years old when she was diagnosed with a rare form of the disease called leiomyosarcoma after finding a lump on her finger while she was pregnant with her eldest son Harvey and Katie has now revealed she fears the condition has come back after experiencing pain in the same digit for the last three weeks


    During an appearance on The Katie Price Show podcast, she explained: "You know when I had cancer years ago.

    "For some who didn't know, when I was pregnant with [so] Harvey I got cancer, called leiomyosarcoma. If you look at my finger, there is like a hole there and a scar there, I had it cut out twice. Can you see that dent? It never hurt.

    "But a lump started coming up and I thought I had been riding and done something to my finger. But anyway cut the long story short it was leiomyosarcoma so I had to have MRI scans and all of that for six years until I was clear."

    She added of her current symptoms: "The same finger here, up here, this is about three weeks ago, I thought, have I knocked it? Because it hurts when I push it but there's no lump.

    "And it [the pain] still hasn't gone. So I'm going to get that X-rayed and looked at so I hope it's not that again.

    "This better not be my bad news, and get bad results, because all this is happening, and then normally in my life something good happens and then something bad happens. Let's hope it's nothing bad."

    Katie also revealed she's been having blood tests in a bid to find out why she's lost a lot of weight and has been feeling tired.

    She added: "I've had my bloods done, and I've got really really low platelets and I thought that was [low] iron, and it's not.

    "And that could be a reason why maybe I've got thinner. I'm tired, no energy. They [the doctors] said it can affect that and I think you might have to have a blood transfusion to get them [the platelets] back up again.

    "So I've got to go back and have my bloods done again".

    Katie previously opened up about her brush with cancer in her 20s during an appearance on Katherine Ryan's What's My Age Again podcast, revealing she just felt numb with shock after being given the diagnosis.

    She said: "The doctor sat me down immediately. I could tell from his face that something wasn't right. Then he came right out with it. He said: 'I've got bad news, it's cancer'.

    "I almost laughed but just sat staring at him as he went into a more detailed explanation of what they'd found ... I just sat there nodding, not taking it in at all. I couldn't feel anything. Couldn't think anything. Couldn't even cry."
