Radio host Chris Evans has revealed he has skin cancer.
The 57-year-old shared his diagnosis live on his Virgin Radio show on Monday morning.
He said: “We need to discuss what’s going on with this issue. It is a melanoma. There’s this phrase called a malignant melanoma – you know once you get something and you find out all about it – that is a redundant phrase because if it is a melanoma it is malignant.”
“But it’s been caught so early, just so you know, that it should be completely treatable. Treatment will happen on the 14th of September.”
Chris revealed he decided to visit the doctor back in 2019 because of the high UV levels that summer, but he was told at the time that he had “nothing to worry about”.
The doctor also encouraged the presenter to get checked for skin cancer once a year.
Chris joined Virgin Radio in 2018, after leaving the coveted BBC Radio 2 breakfast show.
He previously hosted BBC’s The One Show and had a stint on Top Gear, and also fronted Channel 4 shows TFI Friday and The Big Breakfast.
