Bruce Jenner Nose Surgery 'Was For Skin Cancer'

Bruce Jenneris reported to have undergone surgery for skin cancer.

There had been speculation that Kim Kardashian's stepdad had had cosmetic surgery on his nose after he was spotted with it bandaged.

But now US gossip site TMZ reports that the former track and field athlete was actually under the knife to have cancerous cells removed.

TMZ says: "Our Kardashian-Jenner family sources tell us Bruce had a chunk of tissue removed from his nose on Monday... and the procedure required 30 stitches.

"We're told doctors attribute the cancer to sun damage - remember, Bruce plays a lot of golf.

"Bruce underwent the same procedure back in 2012 - that time the cancerous tissue was on the side of his face - and docs warned him to use better protection."

Kim Kardashian was sharing snaps from the set of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians festive special earlier this week.
