Strictly Come Dancing star Karen Hauer has received praise after sharing a health update.
The professional, who has been on the show since 2012, posted on Instagram to share that she regularly visits her gynaecologist to screen for cervical cancer.
“Since 2015 , this lovely doctor has taken care of me,” she wrote in the caption, with the photo showing the dancer alongside her doctor. “I always feel nervous going to the gynaecologist, but when I get there I’m always made to feel as comfortable as possible.
“I also get chocolate and coffee after my checkup 😂@londongynaecology 🤍#papsmear #checkuptime #selfcare #cervicalscreening,” she added.
Karen’s followers praised the dancer for raising awareness on the importance of cervical screenings, with another doctor commenting: “Thanks for sharing your screening and reminding people to get checked! 🙌”
