Comedian Bobby Davro has revealed he is battling prostate cancer, despite experiencing no symptoms. The 67-year-old, who lost his fiancée Vicky Wright to the disease three years ago, shared the news on ITV's This Morning.
Davro said a close friend urged him to get a PSA test, which led to the diagnosis. He explained: 'My doctor told me mine was a bit swollen so I had the PSA test and it was 24, which wasn't good at all.' After a biopsy, he was told the cancer was intermediate, but not terminal. 'That made me cry because it was such a relief,' he said.
The former Big Brother star admitted his only symptom was erectile dysfunction, which he initially treated with medication. He also suffered a haemorrhagic stroke in January 2024 while performing on stage, leaving him with numbness down his left side.
Davro urged men to get checked, saying: 'Get your PSA checked and have your prostate examined.' He praised the NHS for their care and remains optimistic about his prognosis.
