A BIG Brother star has revealed her brain tumour has grown in a heartbreaking update to fans.
The reality star appeared on the Channel 5 version of the fly-on-the-wall programme in 2016.
Charlie Doherty revealed her shock diagnosis last year which left her fans and fellow Big Brother co-stars stunned.
Speaking at the time, she said: “So I received some rubbish news this week… I have been having some ongoing issues which has gone on a while and I pushed for an MRI which has resulted in them finding a brain tumour.
“I have been researching and finding out as much as I can and I basically wanted to share awareness that this is happening more and more and to younger people.”
Now, Charlie has revealed the tumour has grown – although doctors are confident her condition is now staple.
She told the Daily Star: “So, it’s stable and I had a six-month MRI, when they just check on it, they basically said that all was well.
But it had grown and it is now 18 millimetres. I did get told originally it was like 13 millimetres, but they said not to go by that measurement, because it was done in a hospital where it’s not very HD.
“Whereas the one at King’s College Hospital was like the creme de la creme, the Rolls-Royce of MRI machines.
And they said, ‘We’re not even going to judge it on that first initial one, because it was so grainy, so we don’t really want to go by that’.”
Charlie added that she may need to have radiation on the tumour in the future or even have surgery to remove it.
