LOVE Island star Shaughna Phillips today gave fans ahealth update after undergoing some tests.

The new mum – who welcomed her first child in April with boyfriend Billy Webb – revealed that she had to have a procedure, which caused her to have a "panic attack".

The brave reality star took to her Instagram Stories to reveal that following a cervical screening, she had to have a colposcopy.

Although she called the experience "traumatic", Shaughna said it wasn't as bad as one she'd "had before".

The TV star revealed she had also had the precedure when she was pregnant.

Shaughna then encouraged other women to get a smear test, to make sure everything is ok.

Meanwhile, the young mum recently revealed her daughter’s "real name" – and it’s an emotional tribute to her late dad.

It came after she was keen to share her opinion when watching a debate on ITV's Good Morning Britain recently, where they discussed if mothers should give babies their surname.

The TV reality star said her daughter Lucia's surname is double-barrelled to include her father Billy's surname and Shaughna's late dad's surname.

"Interested to know everyone's thoughts on this," Shaughna wrote.

"I decided I wanted to keep my surname after my dad passed away.

"I just felt like it was a part of him I never wanted to give up.

"So when I found out I was pregnant, Lucia's surname was always going to be double barrelled because mine will be if/when I get married."

It comes after the new mum was praised by fans after showing off her ‘real body’ on holiday, four months after giving birth.

Shaughna has been keeping fans updated on mum life ever since.

And in Shaughna’s recent post she posed with her adorable little one, while wearing a neon pink swimsuit.

One person wrote: “I love how you are normalizing real bodies and you look truly beautiful.”

Another said: “Beautiful girls true inspiration keeping it real xx,” and a third penned: “A beautiful confident real happy genuine lady and mumma, what more can you ask for in life.”

It’s not the first time Shaughna has wowed fans with her post-baby body snaps on her trip.

The Love Island favourite delighted fans with another selfie, which saw her sporting the neon two-piece as she posed in her home.

Shaughna tried to keep her personal life out of the spotlight, but fans were keen to know more about her baby daddy, Billy.

The couple kept their relationship a secret for a few months before going public.
