'You feel pressure, not pain'

Outside Source

Available for over a year

Rebekah Vardy, the wife of Leicester City and England footballer Jamie Vardy, has shared a photo on her Instagram page of her about to have a cervical cancer screening test. She says she was dreading it - but that she wants women to stop skipping them out of fear. Nigerian doctor Agility Obi-Ihesie - who carries out screenings - tells us she tries to alleviate anxiety by asking patients about their day. And she says the procedure can be painless if the woman is relaxed. (Photo: Rebekah Vardy. Credit: Rebekah Vardy/Instagram)
