Viewers and colleagues said it was "fantastic news" to see George Alagiah again as he returned to his BBC News post after cancer treatment.
BBC News presenter George Alagiah made a comeback today after an extensive battle with cancer. The 66-year-old was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2014 and has since gone through 17 rounds of chemotherapy.
In 2020, George tested positive for covid, forcing him to take a short break from the newsroom. Last year George explained his cancer had also spread and he would be stepping back yet again to focus on his health.
