I'm a Celebrity's Paul Burrell supported by fans as he issues cancer update

I'm a Celebrity star Paul Burrell has received a raft of support from fans as he gave an update on his cancer battle.

The 64-year-old, who was once Princess Diana's butler, was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. He has been confirmed as a contestant on the new season of I'm A Celebrity All Stars.

Last month he told Lorraine Kelly that appearing on the show saved his life as doctors found something wasn't quite right during the medical.

He said: "I'm A Celebrity literally saved my life. I went to the medical, they found a raised PSA (Prostate-specific antigen) level so I went to my GP. When I got back I had an MRI scan, then I had a biopsy and then they told me I have cancer."

On Tuesday, the reality TV star looked relieved as he shared a milestone on Instagram and said: "The radiotherapy treatment for my prostate cancer is now complete….onwards and upwards! I cannot thank the staff at The Christie enough.

"Their support throughout the process has been absolutely incredible. …..and men over 50, please ask your GP for a PSA test!"

A video accompanying the post ringing the bell at the hospital. Fans alike have rushed to offer well wishes, as Katherine said: "Wonderful Paul. Onwards and upwards and beyond".

Pru said: "Wishing you all the best Paul. Thank you for sharing the journey as hard as it is". Ross said: "Delighted for you!!!", while Tom said: "You're incredible. Well done Paul!"
