Rhod Gilbert given stage four cancer diagnosis after finding 'lumps'

Rhod Gilbert has shared an update on his health following his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

The comedian said he is "hopeful" about the future, in a recent interview he opened up about his stage four cancer diagnosis, telling the BBC that he realised something was wrong when lumps were 'popping up in places they shouldn't'.

Rhod, 54, had to cancel a number of his live shows in spring this year. Speaking to BBC Radio Wales on Friday, December 9, he said: "I had a terribly sore throat, tightness through my neck. I was having to cancel shows because I couldn't breathe, I was having all sorts of problems and we couldn't get to the bottom of it."
