Julia Morris issues urgent warning after skin cancer scare

Julia Morris has taken to social media with a warning about sun safety after a health scare. 

The I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! host shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around her head to Instagram on Friday. 

“How is your 50+ working out for you? I wish I had used it more in my life. Another pretty big skin cancer removed this week,” she wrote in the caption. 

"Going to have to up my eyebrow drawing game," she joked.

But jokes aside, she issued an urgent warning about the skin cancer risks associated with sun exposure. 

"The Aussie sun is no joke and while I lived like a pig on a spit in my 20s, I’m absolutely suffering the consequences now. Please slip slop slap & as always, early detection is the key," she continued.

She then shared her gratitude for the care and support she received from her medical team. 

"Big love to Dr Sheridan and the glorious team at Phoenix Dermatology & the Avenue Hospital for all the TLC this week.”

The TV personality's friends and fans flooded the comments with their well wishes. 

"Sending a giant hug from all of us," wrote Bindi Irwin.

“I hope you’re doing ok. Plus, you rock a headband. I’m sure it’s fashion somewhere…” her former I’m A Celebrity co-host Chris Brown replied. 

“Good on you for sending out the message! Get better quick love,” Brittany Hockley wrote. 

Oh you poor thing - at first I thought you had a Santa hat on,” The Block’s Shaynna Blaze added. “You being all Jolly and all that! Get well and glad you are in the early detection stages!”
