London, October 27 Katie Price has said that she is scared she may get cancer because of her stressful life.

In fact, the reality star has in the past suffered from a rare form of the disease called leiomyosarcoma.

The illness, which hit her in 2002, also saw a malignant growth on her finger.

"I'm supposed to have a scan but keep putting it off," the Sun quoted her as telling Heat magazine.

She added: "I had cancer when I had Harvey and the doctors keep telling me I need to go for a check-up because it's caused by stress - which I've had a lot of lately."

Price split with her husband/singer Peter Andre earlier this year. (ANI)
