The One Show star Adrian Chiles has been diagnosed with cancer – but it isn’t the only health battle the veteran BBC star has been facing. Adrian, 58, revealed in his latest Guardian column that he underwent a biopsy on a spot on his shoulder, which later confirmed a growth to be squamous cell carcinoma – a type of skin cancer.

He wrote: “I distinctly heard the word 'carcinoma' in there somewhere. He said I’d have to come back and have it taken out, and then they would see whether or not it was a carcinoma. Great. 'When? We’ll write to you', he said.

“I suggested that, if cancer was a possibility, then a bit of hurry-up might be called for. To which he said, 'Oh, it won’t make any difference now. The only thing that would have made any difference was if you’d come sooner.'
