Thankfully, the reality TV favourite confirmed he’s been given the all clear.
He said: “Boys, just had a check up on the balls, small lump, thankfully all clear and nothing to worry about.
“Yes because of what my family has been through, the documentary we made I prioritise this, but keep them checked and get them looked at to be sure.”
In 2018, Chris underwent a testicular exam live on This Morning.
It prompted his brother Ben to check his testicles and discovered a lump which doctors later found to be cancerous.
Chris was keen to do drop his trousers live on TV to encourage viewers to check themselves.
It’s after he had to undergo three operations in two years to deal with a condition that could have led to his infertility.
He said previously: “The first time I discovered something wasn’t right was when I was about 15 – I had a varicocele, which is a build up of veins on my left testicle,” explains Chris.
“It didn’t cause me much discomfort so I didn’t do anything for a few years, I put it to the back of my mind. Then a few years later I had it sorted out, as well as an operation on a hydrocele (a build-up of fluid) on my right testicle.”
His brother has since made a full recovery from his cancer battle.

He and Chris made a documentary for the BBC to highlight male fertility – sharing that temperature, drug use and too-tight underwear can all affect sperm.
Chris posted about his health on Snapchat as he continued to be open and honest about his privates – in a bid to push fans to check themselves for lumps.
What are the symptoms of testicular cancer?
THE most common sign is a lump or swelling on one of your testicles, which is normally about the size of a pea.
Not all testicular lumps are cancerous, while only four per cent of scrotal lumps are, but you should still always get your GP to take a look.
Here are the signs to look out for:
A lump or swelling in the testicle
A heavy scrotum
A dull ache or sharp pain in the testicles and scrotum
A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
A difference in the texture or increase in firmness of the testicle
A difference between one testicle and the other
