Harry Jowsey, star of Too Hot To Handle, has been diagnosed with skin cancer. In a TikTok video, the 26-year-old shared the news with his followers, saying that a mole on his shoulder, which had been present for one or two years, turned out to be skin cancer.

"There isn't really an easy way to say this," Harry said. "But last week, I went to a dermatologist to get my skin checked, and they found some skin cancer on me."

Encouraging his fans to prioritise their health, he captioned the post with a plea to wear suncream and get any concerning issues checked. “Please wear sunscreen,” he added. “If you’re a freckly little frog like me, go get a mole map and get your body checked because you never know. I’ve had this on my shoulder for like a year or two and I had no idea.
