Food critic Giles Coren has revealed that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Mr. Coren unveiled the shock unveiling on Friday afternoon and said he heard of his diagnosis on 'Bang at 9.30 am' on Wednesday.
Mr. Coren, 55, wrote in the times that he was tested for the first time a few years ago after being warned by the work of celebrities, including Stephen Fry and Bill Turnbull, both of whom announced that they were diagnosed with the disease with them set.
He received a test result of 4 – with scores higher than 2.5 considered “abnormal and confronted threatening death.”
But he said that his doctor described vast cancer as a 'slow cancer' that 'all men get' when they live long enough, but still sent him for an MRI scan.
He refused a biopsy after the result had not returned. But later he agreed to the investigation after his score increased to 6 and then 7.
The food critic was told this week that doctors had discovered less than a millimeter of cancer in just three of the 21 samples he had provided.
His condition, described as a 'malignant tumor', would not require treatment at the moment, was told, but it would be checked for growth.

Mr. Coren has been a restaurant critic for time since 2002.
His diagnosis came a day after prostate cancer was unveiled by his paper as the most common type of cancer in the United Kingdom, after rising 25 percent in the last five years to catch up with breast cancer in first place.
According to cancer research, more than 55,000 cases were diagnosed every year every year in the UK between 2017 and 2019 – around 150 every day.
It accounts for 28 percent of all British cancer cases in men and 14 percent of the cases in general.
It is most common in men aged 75 to 79, with about a third of all cases diagnosed in men over 75 years of age, the charity said.
