Thai transvestite Sexy Pancake, admired for his quirky photos and videos across social media, has sadly developed penile cancer and, according to local media reports, has consequently had to have his penis removed.
Thought to have been caused by the habit of repeatedly taping down his genitals in order to make himself a convincing woman, the cancer cells reportedly spread due to the restricted blood flow in the genital region.
A statement on his Facebook fan page reads, “Pancake started developing penile cancer because he always taped them up for photoshoots, and sometimes left them like that overnight.”
After developing a sudden illness at the start of April, reports Coconuts, Pancake was admitted into Khon Kaen hospital for treatment where he is still recovering.
The internet star is also accepting donations on his Facebook page from fans to go towards the hospital costs.
Sexy Pancake became popular around 3 years ago thanks to his photos and videos depicting life as a transvestite in rural Isaan. Here’s one of Pancake’s popular recent videos:
