BTCC Presenter Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer

0

Sports presenter Steve Rider is encouraging other men to get checked after revealing he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last month.

The 73-year-old broadcaster, who hosted the ITV’s F1 Coverage and various rally events during the 70’s & 80’s, will have an operation this weekend.

Rider said his doctors told him it was an “opportunity to have significant surgery and cure the whole thing”.

He told BBC Breakfast he was diagnosed about two months ago and considered himself to be “extremely lucky”.

He encouraged others to look at the risk checker on the Prostate Cancer UK website, and anyone with “any doubts” to “get yourself tested” because “it can save your life”.
