ShareShe said: 'I spoke about this on the show before, that I contracted HPV. The person who gave it to me decided to tell me after we'd had a relationship together.

Stronger now: Stacey added that she didn't want to be viewed as 'someone who sleeps around' but decided to speak out to warn fans to take the necessary precautions
The mother-of-two, who has been dating TV presenter Joe Swash for two years, added that it took some courage before she finally spoke out about contracting the virus.
'I did get nervous talking about it in the beginning. I almost felt a bit dirty,' she said.
'I thought, if I was to talk about something I contracted sexually, it makes me [look like] someone who sleeps around, or is irresponsible. But I was taking all the precautions.
'You can even get this virus when using protection, it's skin-on-skin, so you really have to be very careful.'

Confident: The mother-of-two had spoken out about her HPV diagnosis in 2016, telling fans she now goes for a smear test every six months
Stacey first revealed she had contracted HPV during an appearance on Loose Women in October 2016, telling the panel: 'I was really upset to find out they had a serious strain of HPV which causes cervical cancer.
'I always practised safe sex, so I used a condom, you know I did all the right things but you just can't prepare yourself, you need to know about your partner.
'It turned out the only reason I found out was because he decided to tell me. I felt very violated. Now I have to go six-monthly for smears.'

WHAT IS HPV? THE INFECTION LINKED TO 99% OF CERVICAL CANCER CASES

Up to eight out of 10 people will be infected with HPV in their lives
Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the name for a group of viruses that affect your skin and the moist membranes lining your body.
Spread through vaginal, anal and oral sex and skin-to-skin contact between genitals, it is extremely common.
Up to eight out of 10 people will be infected with the virus at some point in their lives.
There are more than 100 types of HPV. Around 30 of which can affect the genital area. Genital HPV infections are common and highly contagious.
Many people never show symptoms, as they can arise years after infection, and the majority of cases go away without treatment.
It can lead to genital warts, and is also known to cause cervical cancer by creating an abnormal tissue growth.
Annually, an average of 38,000 cases of HPV-related cancers are diagnosed in the US, 3,100 cases of cervical cancer in the UK and around 2,000 other cancers in men.
What others cancers does it cause?
- Throat
