Nicole Polizzi, best known to "Jersey Shore" fans as "Snooki," just shared a scary health update.
The 38-year-old reality TV star took to TikTok recently to reveal that a colposcopy and biopsy have confirmed the presence of cancerous cells on top of her cervix.
"So uncomfortable. Like, I already hate regular pap smears to begin with. So, I already knew it was gonna hurt and I was just like bracing myself for it. Just the whole thing is just awful, but you've got to do it," she said.
Snooki revealed that her doctors have sought an additional cone biopsy for further testing, but assured her she will be under anaesthesia for it.
"It’s scary, but we have to get it done because cervical cancer is nothing to joke about," she said.

While the mother of three has no plans of having more children, she said she is terrified at the thought of "getting the hysterectomy and then not being able to have kids."
Polizzi said she delayed her pap smear tests due to the stress and discomfort that come with them. She urged women to avoid making the same oversight and to remain diligent with their medical appointments.
She assured everyone that she has a strong support system that will look after her as she undergoes further procedures, adding, "I'm terrified, but everything will be fine."
Polizzi's "Jersey Shore" co-stars and fans flooded the comments section with adorable messages showing support.
