After having the procedure Len took to Good Morning Britain to talk about how he first noticed the “tiny” mole that had to be removed. He said: “I was playing golf and a bloke said to me, ‘Oh, you’ve got a little mole on your forehead’.
“He went, just like my nan used to. He told me to get it checked. I’m not medical at all, so I said, ‘I don’t know, what is it?’ I went and they took it out and it’s gone. It was a tiny little thing on my forehead… probably because I play a lot of golf and I don’t wear a hat, which I do now.
“It was good that it was what it was because it was like a little early warning, which was good because I would have probably carried on in my own sweet way and it could have become something far worse!”
After getting over the “shock” of a cancer diagnosis for the second time within his life, Len again encouraged individuals to check themselves regularly, and take proactive measures such as wearing a strong SPF regularly.
