CAPITAL Breakfast host Christ Stark has revealed he's secretly been battling testicular cancer.
Taking to Instagram this afternoon, the popular DJ, 38, told fans he's been having chemotherapy.
He wrote: “Around a couple of months ago, after a routine trip to my local doctors, I found out I have Testicular Cancer.
“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.”
Former Radio 1 host Chris revealed why he wanted to make his diagnosis public.
He said: “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.”
