It's not the first time the Love Island star has faced previous issues with her health, but says last year's issues were worse and she now faces a four-week wait for her results. The new mum welcomed her first child with boyfriend Billy Webb back in April but had to get checked out on Friday. Revealed she had to have a colposcopy procedure, she urged her female followers to make sure they get their smear tests after opening up after contracting HPV in May last year. The STI is one of the most widespread across the globe with four out of five of the population contracting some form of the virus at least once in their life. Shaughna bravely says it caused her to have another panic attack following her cervical screening. But she told people to not let anything put them off booking in with their hospital. A colposcopy checks whether there are abnormal cells in the cervix. "I had a panic attack, I'm laughing now but it was very traumatic," she told her 1.4million followers on Instagram following a very difficult day for the 29-year-old, as she explained in a video on her Story. "The one I had last year was way worse. "But I survived - I should get my results in four weeks." She then went on to say: "Don't forget your smears, ladies, they could save your life. My test last year show abnormal cells. This was just to check if my cells had changed. It would have never have been picked up if I hadn't gone for me smear test." In an update on Twitter last summer, she shared: 'Had my results back yesterday, I tested positive for HPV and have had borderline changes to some cells that require further examination. I'm scared but that's okay. Thank god for screening. Ladies, book your smears.' The NHS Cervical Sc){kind=link}
