    With respect mate. An explanation would go down better Imo. Only Stephen's post indicated what. As I wasn't aware.

    I didn't know either until I read it on Beeb. Just guessed it wasn't good and unfortunately my 2 and 2 made 4 for once :(

    I at first honestly, when seeing the headline and the post. Thought some sort of cycling record, I admit I may have been the only silly bugger. And made 2+2 =5.
    So apologies Dragon.

    Chris was diagnosed with a cancer a year ago but only today he went public.
    He is determined to live as normal a life as possible and good luck to him with that.

    The media need taking to account. This isn't news. It's invasion of privacy.

    Tbf was it not Chris who decided to reveal his situation. I’m not certain but I think that is the case.

    Helen I work as a receptionist as you know. If I ever was unfortunate enough to meet you at work. There'd only be me and you knew about it.

    The article on the Beeb suggests otherwise.

    Difficult to trust them to be honest. I've spent a lot of time watching them this last ten months to be honest and think they've started making news. I'm probably way off the mark but someone with cancer isn't news, it's life.

    I think it's pretty disgusting really as I would assume from what he said that someone in the press was going to out him as being ill. His privacy should have been fully respected.
    Best wishes to Chris and hopefully a full recovery.

    Yeah but who cares about privacy and ill health when there's clicks to be had..? Its disgraceful mate. People in journalism have got away with far too much for far too long.
