The comedian and Taskmaster victor shared the news in his Substack, detailing how he has blood cancer rather than testicular cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2021.

Explaining the diagnosis, he wrote: ‘I have cancer again. Not ball cancer this time, I can’t afford to lose another one of those (though I will be doing my show The Male Eunuch if it does happen).’
