Ricky Gervais’ partner Jane Fallon, 62, has been crying at the “worrying” fear of skin cancer and admits she fears surgery would leave a scar on her face
Ricky Gervais’ longtime love, author Jane Fallon, took to Twitter on Tuesday about her “worrying” fear of skin cancer.
Jane, 62, shared a picture of herself looking tearful along with an arrow pointing to a small freckle on her face.
She wrote, “Goodbye that thing on my face.” You tried to hide under a freckle, but now you’ve grown into something that might cause even more concern and you need to go.
“Don’t you dare leave a scar.”
Her followers were there to give her some comfort.
Concern: Ricky Gervais’ partner Jane Fallon, 62, cried on Twitter Tuesday as she revealed she had “worrying” skin cancer fears and feared surgery would leave a scar on her face
Helpful: She received a lot of encouragement from her followers and sent friendly replies
One wrote: “My mum started growing lots of these on her face.” They were all removed. Minimal scarring.’
She replied, “I think getting older will be an endless stream of things growing and being removed.”
Someone else tried to make her laugh, writing: “Look out there will be a dedicated Twitter account soon.”
In response, Jane shared a laughing GIF.
She thanked another fan who suggested a product that would help the healing process a bit.
Jane has been in a relationship with The Office star Ricky, 61, for 39 years – he is now believed to be worth £128million.
She supported him financially and emotionally as he was a rising pop star in the 1980s.
Jane was the sole breadwinner, earning £40 a week from a theater agency and learning to be a screenwriter. To save money, she walked to and from work and shopped for bargains at the local Safeway.

Sweet: Ricky is an avid philanthropist and donated a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales from his Supernature tour to charity last year
Too poor to afford the constant supply of 50p coins needed to run the heating, they froze every winter.
Both of working-class origins, they met at university in London and lived above a brothel in King’s Cross, where they survived for years on little more than beans and rice.
Speaking about why they never tied the knot, Jane previously said, “It’s not that I’m against marriage. It just never really bothered me.”
She added, “Having kids has always been something I didn’t feel like wanting to do.” I just never thought I’d be a good mom.
“I see people who are good at being parents and I don’t know how they do it. ‘How can they be so relaxed?’
The couple now own multiple properties around the world, including homes in London, Los Angeles and New York City.
Ricky is now an avid philanthropist and donated a portion of the ticket sales from his Supernature tour to charity last year.
He split £427,243.42 from ticket sales from his Supernature UK tour between three animal welfare organizations – International Animal Rescue, Animals Asia and Nowzad.
Through the same split, each charity received a donation of £142,414.47.
Ricky said of the donation, “It’s a privilege to be able to help animals in need just by doing a job I already love.”
