Instead, a sudden illness on a foreign holiday led to the discovery of the cancer.He us a Sky News veteran(Image: PA)Murnaghan highlighted the lack of a formal screening programme for prostate cancer, stating men “actually have to ask for it rather than be offered it as so often happens with other cancers”, reports the Mirror.Given the absence of a screening programme, he advised men of a certain age to proactively “go and demand it”.Reflecting on his own experience, Murnaghan admitted to putting off screening, saying: “In my own case, I fell through those gaps.”I foolishly sat in your [presenter Anna Jones] position for many many years speaking to people about this very issue and talking about men, particularly over the age of 50, men in high risk groups who may have a history of it in their family, to go and ask for this screening..”And I kept thinking you know ‘once I got over that age I will go and do that’.The star opened up about his illness(Image: PA)”I kept thinking, ‘okay well you know I’ll get round to it’, life intervenes, jobs, children, holidays…all kinds of things and I never did..”So what happened was at the end of last year I fell very ill on a foreign holiday and kind of rushed back here to get treated by a wonderful health service and was diagnosed, a real bolt from the blue.”Following NHS treatment and testing, he received a diagnosis of stage-four cancer.Murnaghan highlighted that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests are becoming increasingly accurate and advocated for their inclusion in routine cancer screenings.”They might cost a little bit more money, but think about the money you save,” he said.Urging men to undergo testing, he added: “Once you cross that milestone, go and demand it, your GP will eventually give you one. If there’s a history of prostate cancer in your family, definitely get it.”Dermot is a presenting veteran(Image: Getty Images)Murnaghan revealed he completed his chemotherapy in the summer.”I finished my chemotherapy kind of early July, so I’ve been recovering since. We’re just waiting to see how it’s gone. But feeling pretty good,” he said.”It’s hard but the one thing is, you feel that you are actively doing something in the hands of wonderful medical professionals who know what they’re doing, and you’re kicking back, there’s this kind of bit of a psychological gap now that it’s stopped – ‘What do I do now? .”But I’m in the waiting and seeing phase, they can see how much it’s achieved hopefully.”He added: “Once you cross that milestone, go and demand it, your GP will eventually give you one. If there’s a history of prostate cancer in your family, definitely get it.”This comes as a coalition of over 60 cancer charities, known as One Cancer Voice, is sounding the alarm that the government must take immediate measures to address cancer care in England – including swifter diagnosis targets and improved prevention policies.Article continues belowThe UK lacks a national screening programme for prostate cancer as there isn’t a reliable test to detect cancer requiring treatment at an early stage, according to Cancer Research UK.Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?

Travis is kneeling, which symbolically places him in a position of vulnerability and devotion. His upward gaze is fixed entirely on Taylor, showing admiration, respect, and a deep emotional focus on her.“Taylor has her hands placed gently around Travis’s face – a protective and nurturing gesture that signals care as well as love. She’s leaning fully into him, both physically and emotionally, which demonstrates trust and prioritisation of the relationship above all else in that moment. This isn’t a staged or distant engagement announcement. Their body language shows vulnerability, equality, and genuine emotion.“Those are the markers of a partnership that isn’t just built on love, but on trust and emotional reciprocity. In body language terms, that’s the recipe for a marriage with real longevity.”For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.Article continues below More

We had a spat on Twitter. So that was quite rude. I didn’t like that,” Danniella confessed to Daily Star in collaboration with casino.org.The actress admitted she’s never actually come face-to-face with the comedian, but their fiery exchange online was enough to leave its mark. “I’ve never met him in real life,” she added, before softening her stance slightly: “But I do think he’s really talented, to be honest.”Ricky and Danniella have clashed(Image: NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images)Danniella didn’t go into detail about exactly what sparked the spat, but fans of both stars will remember the pair clashing on social media several years ago when Ricky made a tongue-in-cheek remark that didn’t sit well with the soap icon.Their back-and-forth quickly escalated, with Danniella firing back at the stand-up before walking away from the feud.While Gervais, 63, has been known for his sharp tongue and unapologetically brutal humour, whether on stage on Twitter or at the Golden Globes – but Danniella has also developed her own reputation for not holding back when it comes to speaking about fellow celebs.It’s not the first time the actress has taken aim at stars she’s clashed with over the years. But she insists her comments about Ricky come from a place of honesty rather than lingering bitterness. “I didn’t like that,” she said simply of their social media spat.Article continues belowDanniella bigged up the comedian’s talents (Image: Instagram/danniellawestbrook_73)Fans, as always, had their say, with one commenting online: “Danniella vs Ricky, now that’s a comedy special I’d pay to watch.” Another added: “Imagine those two actually meeting, fireworks guaranteed.”Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?
