Chris Evans diagnosed with skin cancer
Chris Evans has revealed he has been diagnosed with skin cancer eight years after being given the all-clear.
The broadcaster, 57, announced on his Virgin Radio show on Monday that doctors gave him the news after his masseuse – who he branded an ‘angel sent from heaven’, spotted a freckle and urged him to have it checked out.
Chris told listeners it was found in the extremely early stages, adding that doctors have said it is at ‘stage zero’ and is ‘as treatable as cancer can possibly be’. He will undergo treatment next month.
It comes after the star, who became a household name in the 90s and 00s thanks to his popular shows TFI Friday and Big Breakfast, had a skin cancer scare in 2020.
He was tested for the disease after discovering marks on his body before Christmas. Prior to that, he was given the ‘all clear’ following a prostate cancer scare in 2015.
