Watch the emotional moment Capital’s Chris Stark returns to radio job after revealing cancer battle

CAPITAL Breakfast host Chris Stark has returned to work after revealing his shock cancer diagnosis.

On Monday, Chris, 38, revealed his secret testicular cancer battle – and just hours later he has made a return to the airwaves.

Returning to the airwaves, Chris was supported by his co-stars as he was embraced by Jordan North and Sian Welby.

In a video shared on Capital Radio's official Instagram page, the trio could be seen hugging following Chris' cancer diagnosis announcement.

Sian could be heard saying: “Group hug, group hug, We've missed you Chris! We're so glad to have you back!”

The video clip was captioned: “Group hugs for our wonderful @chrisstark. We ae so happy to have you back!”

Chris also shared the video on his own page and penned: “It's good to be back.”

On Monday, Chris revealed his cancer diagnosis and how he has been undergoing chemotherapy in recent weeks.

Revealing the news to his fans on Instagram, Chris revealed the shocking news and also shared that he would be back on the airwaves on Tuesday (today).

“Around a couple of months ago, after a routine trip to my local doctor's, I found out I have testicular cancer,” he penned in the emotional post.

“I had surgery pretty quickly and have been off the radio/ podcasts the last couple of weeks having chemotherapy to best prevent anything from coming back.”

He added: “The reason I want to share this is that I feel like an idiot that I didn't spot this sooner.

“And although I'm effectively cured and it was caught early, my hope is any bloke reading this will perhaps think to check themselves today. Or go to a doctor if not sure about any possible symptoms.

“Caught early, this cancer is so so treatable. It is most common in men aged 18-49.

“I also think it's a tricky subject matter to talk about, but I'm willing to put my now one ball on the line here if it helps make that conversation less tricky for guys, encourages someone to check themselves and potentially saves a life.”

Fans ans friends rushed to the comments section to show their love and support for Chris after his announcement.

“Sorry to read this. Glad you're on the mend and back on the airwaves,” penned one person.

Another added: “SO glad you’re caught it quickly, salute for sharing!!!”

While a third said: “Oh wow. This has really shocked me. I'm so glad you caught it and it's been treated.”

Chris is a co-host of Capital Breakfast alongside Jordan North and Sian Welby.

He is also one of the hosts of the award winning That Peter Crouch Podcast.

Before Chris joined Capital, he was a co-host on the Scott Mills show on BBC Radio 1 until he departed in 2022.

When Chris joined Capital, he was working with Roman Kemp before he left.

Speaking about joining Capital at the time, he said: “I couldn’t be more excited to be joining Global, working across a variety of amazing projects.

“I’ve known Roman a long time and often joked over a beer it’d be great to work together on something big one day – and now here we are.”

He added: “I cannot wait to get started on Capital Breakfast and in my new creative executive producer role. Let’s make some moments.”

Jordan North then later replaced Roman, meaning Chris was reunited with his former BBC colleague.
