Zara McDermott's Health Scare: Lump Found in Armpit
17 Feb
Summary
- Zara McDermott discovered a lump in her armpit, prompting a health scare.
- She underwent a full body MRI scan to assess her overall health.
- This follows a previous health battle with osteoporosis and a fractured tibia.

Former Love Island star Zara McDermott has recently experienced a health scare after discovering a lump in her armpit. She announced on her YouTube channel that she was undergoing a full body MRI scan to address her health concerns.
The 29-year-old described the lump as feeling more like a swollen gland and intended to have it checked during her scan. This preventative health measure was undertaken with a friend, following discussions over Christmas about prioritizing well-being in the new year.
This incident occurs over two years after McDermott underwent surgery to repair bone damage caused by osteoporosis. In December 2023, she shared updates indicating potential further procedures for her tibia fracture. Osteoporosis, a condition affecting millions in the UK, particularly women, makes bones fragile and prone to breaks.
McDermott revealed her early osteoporosis diagnosis in November 2023, noting a family history of the condition. While her tibia fracture showed signs of healing by March 2025, doctors had previously advised further surgery. She opted for a more natural healing process involving a boot and crutches.
In personal news, McDermott recently showed support for her boyfriend Louis Tomlinson, celebrating his album's chart success.
