Bill Turnbull said inspiring men to get tested for prostate cancer by publicly revealing his own diagnosis was the "one useful thing" he had done in his life.
Bill, 66, was diagnosed in 2017 and admitted he was "cross with myself" for the pride he had felt at not visiting a GP in four years. The former BBC Breakfast and Classic FM broadcaster had prostate tests at the age of 40 and 50 but said the disease had already spread to his bones when he saw a doctor about long-term aches and pains which he had put down to "old age".
Following his death, NHS England shared information on prostate cancer along with a message saying "We're sad to hear about the death of Bill Turnbull from prostate cancer."
