Stephan “Steff” Jerkel reported on his skin cancer in an Instagram video. He appeals to his fans.
Stephan Jerkel (53) is currently fighting in the “Sommerhaus der Stars” (RTL, too via TVNow) with partner Peggy Jerofke (45) for victory. TV production has already been completed. In a video on Instagram the TV emigrant has now expressed himself on a serious topic and made his skin cancer public.
He got bad news today, he explains in the video which, among other things, shared the VOX program “Goodbye Germany”, which the emigrant couple regularly accompanies. He always had a small spot on his forehead that was slowly getting bigger. He postponed the doctor’s visit and only now went to an examination. “Now it is skin cancer. Since it has progressed so far, two operations have to be carried out,” explains the Mallorca emigrant and TV star into the camera.
It was white skin cancer, which Jerkel had always assumed until now to be less dangerous. “The doctor said, however, that it is not so easy and does not look so good at all. So: Take care of yourself. If you see a spot, go to the doctor and don’t wait as long as I do,” he says at the end directly to his followers.
