The 57-year-old father-of-five has been living in the spotlight since the 1990s when he made the leap from radio broadcasting to television presenting - hosting huge TV shows including The Big Breakfast and TGI Fridays. He has cemented his name as a radio legend, however, having won over millions of listeners on BBC Radio 1, Virgin Radio and Radio 2. And while he entertains listeners with his quips and insights, his private life has also generated interest - with fans becoming concerned when he shared that he has been diagnosed with skin cancer. The star announced the news on his Virgin Radio show - and revealed his prognosis was looking good as he was diagnosed early. He explained: "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.' He added: 'But it's been caught so early, just so you know, that it should be completely treatable." And he also told fans he is scheduled to be treated for the condition on 14 September. This is the latest in a number of health conditions to leave Chris shaken. Back in 2015, he declared he had been scared 'half to death' after enduring a prostrate cancer scare. He told listeners at the time: 'Prostate cancer, and colon cancer of course, are one of the most survivable forms of cancer there is, if caught early enough. If not, one of the least. "It's a fine line between life and death, happiness and tragedy. And I've got to say I'm in the middle of a prostate issue right now. I couldn't stop. I have not been able to stop since){kind=link}
