"Sharing the picture to my story last week very much triggered my emotions, but I feel it's only right for me to share both the highs and the lows of life.

"If I was able to help just one lady, then sharing my picture was worth it."

The BBC star then pleaded with her 334k followers to attend future appointments as they can "change your life".

Shirley continued: "I got my recall while on holiday and I immediately cleared my diary to allow for the appointment.

"I urge all women to do the same. Please do not put your mammogram, smear test or in fact any appointment off.

"They really can change your life. Who knows what my have happened if I put mine off?

The dancer signed off with a thank you to everyone that reached out to her with love and support.

Shirley wrote: "Get booked, get checked and get your body MOT everyone."

"With immense gratitude to friends, family and fans who reached out.

"I appreciate you more than you know.

Shirley spoke out about her cancer scare last week.

Sharing a picture of her with a bandaged chest, she said: "Urging all women do not miss your mammogram.

"I went for mine, ended up going for a second one and a biopsy. Local anaesthetic biopsy done. Now waiting for results.

"Amy Dowden you ran through my mind.

"The importance of not putting it off. Go and get tested. Plus self breast check regularly."

Strictly professional Amy, 33, missed the last series of the show while she battled breast cancer.

Over the weekend Shirley, who had not received her results yet, confessed to The Sun on Sunday: "I feel very emotional.

"Every time the phone rings I think, 'Oh maybe they are my results'."

Speaking about the biopsies, she said: “They injected me with anaesthetic then took the biopsies.

“The hard part is the torture of waiting for the results.

“So I went home bandaged up.

“Deep inside, you’re a nervous wreck.

“I need to know my results one way or the other, good or bad.

“I’m not a person who likes to wait or put off things.

“I got myself in a tiswas when I posted the picture to social media, I was crying while I was doing it.

“I thought, ‘I shouldn’t’. But even if one woman goes to get tested because of it then it’s all been worth it.”

Shirley had her breast implants removed in 2019 to make it easier for doctors to spot cancer.

There is cancer in her family - with her mum Audrey now in remission after colon cancer.

Her grandma, granddad and aunt have also had the disease.
