BBC Radio presenter reveals cancer diagnosis and takes break from show

BBC Radio presenter Eddie Nestor has announced he is temporarily stepping away from his show after revealing a cancer diagnosis. The 62-year-old shared the news in a candid statement posted on social media, detailing how his health had unexpectedly altered his plans.

"Greetings. You may have noticed I’ve been a little quieter than usual. Well… this wasn’t quite the June we’d planned," Nestor wrote. He added: "I missed my own brunch and ended up spending Father’s Day and my birthday in hospital. Life has a funny way of rewriting your diary. I’ve been diagnosed with cancer."
