Supermodel Cindy Crawford has her famous facial mole checked every year - for fear it may turn cancerous.

The 43 year old reveals the iconic beauty spot on her left cheek has changed appearance in recent years, and she regularly gets it looked at by doctors to ensure she remains healthy.

She says, "It's not something I really like to talk about. But I do now get this and all my moles checked every year as a matter of course. Of course it is an issue we all have to take seriously."
