Overview

• Tink Reading, a 2023 Love Island contestant, was diagnosed with a rare molar pregnancy, a form of gestational trophoblastic disease.
• The condition involves abnormal placental cell growth that can form tumors, which may become cancerous if untreated.
• She underwent emergency surgery under general anesthetic within 24 hours of her diagnosis, and the procedure was successful.
• Reading is now recuperating at home and awaiting pathology results to assess if the abnormal cells are cancerous and to guide her follow-up care plan.
• By publicly sharing her experience on Instagram, Reading aims to raise awareness about molar pregnancies and reduce stigma around rare pregnancy complications.
