Are you dying for a tan?

Growing up, identical twins Sam and Lucy loved tanning. They'd go on sunbeds nearly every day for 16 minutes and adored being brown.

As they got older Sam stopped using the salons as much but Lucy was hooked and would visit the salon five or six times a week. When Samantha had a three moles removed Lucy carried on tanning and put plasters over her own moles. However in July after noticing a scary looking mole on her leg she had a severe wake up call when she was diagnosed with skin cancer. Lucy still returned for a sunbed after receiving her diagnosis but is trying to kick the habit.

Sam and Lucy are here and are joined by Dr Chris, who's had skin cancer himself.
