Kym Marsh reveals kids urged her to get mammogram after she felt pains in her breast

Soap star Kym Marsh has admitted her children nagged her to go and see a medical professional after she started feeling pain in her boob.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has opened up about undergoing a mammogram after her right breast became increasingly painful.
The soap star had implants more than ten years ago which increased her bra size from a B cup to a D cup.
But after she began suffering discomfort, her kids nagged her to go and get it checked out.
Writing in her OK! Magazine column, the 43-year-old said: "I've been experiencing pain in my right breast and it's been getting worse, so the kids nagged me to go and get it checked out, saying I usually go to the doctor's for a broken fingernail.
"Having breast implants can make checking a bit trickier, so I like to go every couple of years.”
Reassuring fans, Kym added: "I had a mammogram and I'm pleased to say everything's fine."
After being told there are no issues with her implants, the actress - who plays Michelle Connor in Corrie - went on to say she isn’t keen on having them removed.
"My implants are 10 years old now and some people say you should get them replaced after a decade, but my specialist said mine are fine,” she said.
"If I was to have them done again, I think I'd go for the same size and shape, which reassures me that I made the right choice 10 years ago.
"I wouldn't want to have them out."
