Atomic Kitten singer reveals skin cancer diagnosis

  • Former Atomic Kitten singer Natasha Hamilton has revealed she was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2024, after initially mistaking it for a mosquito bite.
  • Hamilton noticed an itchy spot on her back while on holiday in Majorca. It was later identified as a basal-cell carcinoma.
  • She believes her past use of sunbeds in the late 1990s and early 2000s contributed to her diagnosis, recalling frequent burns and the desire for a "sunkissed look".
  • Hamilton is now cancer-free after the tissue was removed.
  • Hamilton's mother, Maria, was also diagnosed with the same type of skin cancer after Natasha urged her to get a mark on her face checked by a dermatologist.
