He wrote: “About a few months ago, after a routine trip to my local doctor, I found that I had a testicular cancer.”

“I had a lot quickly and I was out of radio/ podcast with chemotherapy for the last few weeks to prevent anything from returning anything.”

Former host Radio 1 Chris announced that he would return to the air tomorrow and revealed why he wanted to publish his diagnosis to the public.

He said, “The reason I want to share this is that I feel like an idiot I haven’t noticed before. And although I am effectively cured and caught early, I hope that any guy will read this may think that he will be verified today. Or go to the doctor if I am not sure of any possible symptoms.

“Caught early, this cancer is so much treated. The most common is in men between the ages of 18 and 49.

“I also think it’s a cunning topic to talk, but I’m ready to put my ball now if it helps that the conversation become less squatting for guys, encourages someone to check for themselves and potentially save life.”

Chris, hosting Capital BreakFast Show with Sian Welby and Jordan North, was overwhelmed by the supporting messages of colleagues, friends and fans.

Dan Walker commented on, “Stay a strong great man.”

Giovanna Fletcher said, “Huge love for you Chris !!!! XXX.”

Clara Amfo announced, “I’m so glad you caught her quickly, welcomed for sharing !!!”

Jack Saunders Radio 1 said, “I’m glad you’re on the couplings and well performed to spread words.”

Gabby Logan, whose wife Kenny was diagnosed with prostate cancer 2022, told him: “He is so glad that your outcome is positive and well performed to share a message.”

Craig David enrolled: “Knowing that you are now healthy and caught early, a real partner for a blessing is caught. You share this is so powerful.”

Father-two Chris is married to his wife Ria Holland and have a young daughter and a son.

He became a fixture on national radio after joining the Scott Mills Show on Radio 1 back in 2012.

Symptoms of testicular cancer

The most common sign is a bump or swelling on one of your testicles, which is usually pea sizes.

Not all tester lumps are carcinogenic, while only four percent of scrotal lumps are, but you should still always get your general practitioner.

Here are the signs to be careful about:

A lump or swelling in the testis
Heavy scrotum
Boring pain or sharp pain in the testicles and scrotum
A feeling of weight in the scrotum
Difference in texture or increase in testis strength
The difference between one testis and the other

To know if you have signs of changes in your testicles, it is important to know what is felt normal.

It’s good to have a hot shower before checking them, then gently roll the testis between your thumb and finger.

Then repeat for the second testis.

Repeat this every week so you gain a sense of their shape and siz

Before becoming a permanent member of the team, Chris appeared in the show as Scott’s friend.

The popular afternoon program contained talks and hilarious features such as real or no real, populated Bing and 24 years at the end of TAP.

During the last show with Scott in August 2022, Chris collapsed live in the air while putting on the street dried eyes.

He said, “So, I want to play a song, it’s one of my favorites. Someone asked him this 10 -minute takeover this morning and dedicated it to me, which ironic from everything today, it was almost a matter that made me look out.

“We will always remind me of my Gran, she loved this.

“Everyone who knows me, I think they will know what the song will always be. That’s it.

“I just want to thank Radio 1 for everything.”

When Mills headed for Radio 2, Chris sought a new challenge and skipped the ship in capital to suggest a daily early morning show.

Fans of Footy will also know him from his co-founder at the Podcast of Peter Crouch, along with the retired English International.

The family man, who has over 320,000 followers on Instagram, just celebrated his birthday last week.

He kept Colin Caterpillar cake and wrote: “Amazing birthday. Full of my favorite things, lasagna, radio, watford, colin, family, Sam Fender.

“Thank you for all the messages today, it really means a lot. I feel very happy to do what I do and endure with the amount of people who took a moment to send a message. He really made me laugh. Thanks.”
