‎Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, has opened up on the reason behind her sudden weight loss.

‎The star actress recently sparked numerous conversations on social media with her new appearance which showed a drastic weight loss.

‎
‎Explaining the reason behind the weight loss in a recent conversation with veteran actress Joke Silva, Mercy Johnson revealed that she had a cancer scare, and she had her thyroid removed.

‎
‎She said:
‎“I had a cancer scare and I had my thyroid removed. I was like a journey for us because we have kids and my lastborn was six month old at that time, we [my husband and I] kept saying, we had to understand this is the new us, let’s go get the surgery done.

‎
‎“When we got there, they said that I was going to be on medication for the rest of my life. We had to sit down, they were saying I can’t miss my medication, telling me the side effects. So, I’m reconciling with this you are saying [my weight loss]. I’m at the point where you realised that this is where we are, let’s grow from here and live in this comfort zone.”
