BBC newsreader George Alagiah has announced he is taking a break from presenting the News At Six in order to undergo more cancer treatment. Alagiah, 66, said a scan showed his cancer had spread.
He said: “A recent scan showed that my cancer has spread further so it’s back to some tough stuff. I’m missing my colleagues.
“Working in the newsroom has been such an important part of keeping energised and motivated. I look forward to being back in that studio as soon as I can.”
