Reality star Kerry Katona has opened up to her followers on Instagram in an emotional video and revealed her sister found a lump the "size of a brussel sprout" in her breast.<\/p>\n

The former Atomic Kitten star thanked medical staff and revealed that breast cancer runs in her family.<\/p>\n

Talking about her sister Lynsey Armstrong, Kerry said: "My sister found a terrible, huge lump in her breast. And I know she won\u2019t mind me telling you this. She was so scared. I\u2019m so grateful to Pall Mall Medical, it was the size of a Brussel sprout. We were all so worried because breast cancer runs in the family.<\/p>\n

"I\u2019m very fortunate that I do have private health care and I sent my sister to Pall Mall, she went yesterday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kerry added: \u201cI\u2019m gonna cry! But she\u2019s fine. It turned out to be a big cyst.\u201d<\/p>\n

This follows after Kerry opened up to OK! <\/b>earlier this year and detailed her own cancer scare after she found a lump underneath her armpit in the shower, admitting that the discovery made her 'life flash before her eyes'.<\/p>\n

"I once found a lump underneath my armpit in the shower and it was around a similar time that Sarah Harding was diagnosed, which put the fear of God in me," she said.<\/p>\n

She added: "My life flashed before my eyes and that\u2019s when my health anxiety really kicked in. I had the realisation that we\u2019re not all immortal and that your health is not always something you can control."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Health is something Kerry has now been focusing on has shared that she's lost three stone, after looking at her diet and overhauling her fitness.<\/p>\n

Kerry recently revealed that she now weighs 10 stone and 12 pounds, down from 13 stone and three pounds, which was her weight when she started her journey.<\/p>\n

To help her on her journey, Kerry has been open about the fact that she\u2019s enlisted the help of nutritionists and personal trainers.<\/p>\n

The star now regularly posts pics from her workouts and admitted that having a regime to stick to has helped her \u201cactually enjoy working out.\u201d<\/p>\n

She showed off her toned figure earlier this month when she posed for the camera in a black thong swimsuit, sunglasses and a straw hat while on holiday in Spain. <\/p>\n

The star's fans flooded the comments to show their support for the "real picture".<\/p>\n

One penned, "This is what people actually look like. Social media has brainwashed people to think skin looks airbrushed and everything is perfect. Kerry you look amazing!"<\/span><\/p>\n

Another added: ""GO GIRL.. you're looking good and you've had kids.. keep doing what you're doing."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
