Stephen Fry has revealed that he is being treated for prostate cancer.
He made the announcement via a video that he posted on his website and released on Twitter, saying: “For the last 2 months I’ve been in the throes of a rather unwelcome and unexpected adventure. I’m sorry I haven’t felt able to talk about it till now, but here I am explaining what has been going on.”
In the video he said that he had recently undergone surgery: "It all seemed to go pretty well. They took the prostate out. So far as we know it's all been got. For the moment I'm fit and well and happy and I just wanted to let you know because rumours had started to swirl."
In the video, he added: "You have to recover and that's what I've been doing."
He continued that his family and husband Elliott Spencer had been "just marvellous".
"Here's hoping I've got another few years left on this planet because I enjoy life at the moment and that's a marvellous thing to be able to say, and I'd rather it didn't go away," he added.
