BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast sports presenter Chris Latchem has revealed he has been diagnosed with leukaemia in a video posted on Twitter on World Cancer Day.
Latchem, who has worked for the BBC since 2009 and presented on Breakfast since last July, urged other men to “go get yourself checked out”.
Despite the diagnosis, Latchem said he was “feeling healthier than I have for about two years” and that the type of leukaemia he had was very treatable.
