Danyl Johnson has admitted he battled cancer when he was 11 years old, Heat magazine reports. "I have had many visits to hospital,” Danyl revealed. “Most of the time it was to do with sports and arts injuries, but when I was 11 they found cancerous cells in my scrotum. It was a scary time, but I came through it. I tried to be patient and not take it out on those around me."
The X Factor contestant added that his experience had made a firm believer in looking after yourself. "I feel passionate about sexual health checks. The NHS provides a service to check you out, yet people don't do it,” he said. “I don't understand why. If you ever feel there's something wrong, talk to people. It's always better to check it out. Be brave."
