Shirley Chung has some heartbreaking news with her followers. Taking to Instagram on Friday, the 47-year-old restauranter who competed on Season 11 and Season 14 of Top Chef revealed she was diagnosed with stage four tongue cancer back in May.
Oh no! Shirley explained her health battle began in December of last year after she started experiencing a bunch of dental issues.
When the television personality bit her tongue one day, she ended up fracturing her tooth, which had to be extracted and replaced with an implant.
Initially, everyone thought she was just a “heavy teeth grinder.” However, it was a lot more serious than that: Related: Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt’s Son Pax Hospitalized After Electric Bike Crash! Her calmness about the situation didn’t last long, though.
