George Alagiah is set to take a break from presenting duties after revealing that his cancer has spread further.
The BBC News At Six star, 66, was first diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer in 2014. He underwent 17 rounds of chemotherapy after his initial diagnosis but the cancer sadly returned in 2018, and in June 2020 George announced that it had spread to his lungs, liver and lymph nodes.
The newsreader said last month that he had a “tumour site” at the base of his back, adding that he had spent the past 18 months in “extreme pain”. George previously took a step back from work in October last year as he underwent treatment, before returning to the News At Six in April, The Mirror reports .
