Sky News star says Stage 4 cancer was ‘bolt from the blue’ after holiday illness

On his former channel, the former Sky News host urged men to “demand” a prostate cancer test.

Former Sky News presenter Dermot Murnaghan has admitted his diagnosis was “a bolt from the blue” as he found out he had stage four prostate cancer on holiday.

On his former television show, the TV host and journalist called on men to “demand” a prostate cancer test and for the government to launch screenings in full.

After receiving chemotherapy, 67-year-old Murnaghan said he is “feeling pretty good” in a statement to Anna Jones on Sky News.

However, he acknowledged that he didn’t experience the typical symptoms of prostate cancer, such as frequent or urgent urinations or the presence of blood, but that he “fell very ill on a foreign holiday,” which led to the discovery of the cancer.

According to Murnaghan, men “actually have to ask for it rather than be offered it as it frequently happens with other cancers because there is no formal screening program” for prostate cancer.”

He claimed that he would advise men of a certain age to “go and demand it” if there was no screening program.

Murnaghan remarked on how he deterred screening, “In my own case, I slipped through those gaps.

I foolishly spent many years speaking to people in your [presenter Anna Jones] position about this issue and asking men, especially those over 50, men in high risk groups who may have a family history of it to go to this screening…

And I kept thinking, “I’ll do that once I reach that age,” I kept thinking.

Life intervenes, jobs, children, holidays, etc., and I never did…

What transpired was that I fell extremely ill on a foreign holiday and promptly returned to this country to get treated by a wonderful health service, which gave me a real bolt from the blue.”

After being treated by the NHS and going for tests he was diagnosed with stage-four cancer.

He claimed that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests should be offered in the same way that cancer screenings are becoming more accurate and that they should be.

He said, “Think about the money you save, even though they might cost a little bit more.”

He continued, “Once you cross that milestone, go and demand it, your GP will eventually give you one,” while also urging men to get tested. Get prostate cancer if your family has it if it has a history.

He claimed that he had finished his own chemotherapy over the summer.

I finished my chemotherapy in the beginning of July, and I’ve since recovered. Just how it turns out, we’re anticipating it. But he continued, “I’m feeling pretty good.”

What do I do now that it has stopped, and you feel like you are actively doing something in the hands of wonderful medical professionals who know what they’re doing?

They can see how much it’s been accomplished, but I’m in the waiting and seeing phase.

It comes as a coalition of more than 60 cancer charities, known as One Cancer Voice, is warning the government must take urgent steps to tackle cancer care in England – including faster diagnosis targets and better prevention policies.

According to Cancer Research UK, there is no reliable test to identify cancer that needs treatment early because the UK does not have a national screening program for prostate cancer.

This year, I’ll fix it, but I wake up at 4:30 am and don’t get home until 9 p.m. three times per week. It’s too much, “

Jamie claims he has a slipped disc in his back in addition to sleeping problems. He refers to the issue as “old-people stuff,” along with his pains and aches.

He acknowledges that being greedy has always been his unhealthy eating practice despite his reputation for tackling the country’s unhealthy eating habits. Jamie acknowledges that being greedy has always been his biggest issue despite claiming to have always had a “diversified diet.”

Freddy Brazier has candidly revealed what caused the distance between himself and his dad Jeff Brazier. The 20-year-old bravely opened up on his “tough” personal journey following Jeff’s legal battle to stop him seeing grandmother Jackiey Budden.

The late Jade Goody’s son has seen his relationship with his dad struggle after he moved out of their family home. Freddy decided to live with Jade’s mum Jackiey and sparked concern for Jeff after he was pictured smoking with her.

Now, Freddy has decided to lay bare the extent of what he has been going through after revealing he was going to rehab earlier this year. “I’ve been smoking since I was 12,” he said.

“I’ve been to rehab, I’ve had manic episodes, I’ve been sectioned, and I’ve been in cells,” I said. A real journey has been taken, and it has been challenging.

He claimed Jackiey, his nan, was the one who “hooked” him to drugs. Freddy said, “My nan undoubtedly was the one who not only got me hooked on weed but also introduced me to it.”

Addressing his relationship with dad Jeff and why he spent so much time with his nan, Freddy sadly explained: “I feel like if I didn’t prioritise the relationship with my mum’s mum Jackiey… I was scared that if I wasn’t [around her], she’d kill herself.

And I kept thinking about it for so long that I spent months at my Nan’s, go on crazy ones, and “and I had that in my head.” Freddy revealed he had spent his entire life at a “boys holiday” instead of pushing my dad away.

He openly stated, “I’ve been smoking since I was 12 and it’s time to stop.” I relied on it to make me feel sane and somewhat okay, and it was a bad coping mechanism that led to an addiction.

Freddy described his desire to “be” clean so that he could mend relationships with Jackie and Jeff. He stated, “I want to be happy, be in a good relationship, and have a good relationship with my father and my Nana.”

Freddy’s relationship with Jeff seems to have improved since he shared photos of his dad in the musical 101 Dalmatians last week. As he expressed his support for Jeff’s project, he added a heartfelt message.

“Freddy said, “I’ve been watching 101 Dalmatians three times.” Some people would say that Fred, you don’t have much time on your hands? I do have way too much time on my hands, I guess!

“But I just adore it when my dad is at work, having fun, and smiling,” he says. I’ve loved talking to everyone I’ve ever spoken to or gone with, as well as my father and the rest of the cast. If you haven’t seen it, you have until the 30th, so act fast! “!

‘I’m a relationship expert – Taylor Swift’s past heartbreaks will impact Travis Kelce marriage’

Exclusive relationship expert Emma Kenny explains why Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriends and previous relationships made it possible for her to meet Travis Kelce, the NFL star.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce appear to be getting married happily.

When it comes to relationships, the world has watched Taylor Swift experience her fair share of love stories, heartbreaks, and public scrutiny.

From the poetic intensity of Joe Alwyn to the chaotic creativity of Matty Healy, Taylor’s past partners have reflected different stages of her life. Yet now, with her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce, it feels as though she’s found the missing piece she’s been searching for all along.

As Swifties across the world react to their idol’s happy news, romance and relationship expert Emma Kenny reveals why Taylor, 35, was right to wait for her Prince Charming and why Travis standing out from her exes bodes well for a healthy marriage.

According to Emma, “Tasha couldn’t possibly be more different from her previous loves.” Joe and Matty embodied the brooding, intellectual, well-read, self-reflective, and occasionally tortured Englishman archetype. These types of partners can be enthralling, but they frequently thrive on complexity, which can cause an emotional instability. That intensity can be intense, but it only lasts for a short while.

Between 2016 and 2023, Taylor’s longest relationship, The Brutalist actor Joe, lasted for just over six years. Before falling in love with Travis, Taylor had a brief fling with The 1975 frontman Matty after their shock split.

By contrast, Travis “represents something refreshingly grounded.” He publicly adores Taylor in a way that feels unashamed and incredibly protective, and he is self-assured without being self-indulgent, successful without being overshadowed by insecurity.

He leans into her fame as he defends his own team from the sidelines, not in any way, and says, “He has no issue with her fame.” This must seem like an incredible relief for a woman who has spent years having her success evaluated, downplayed, or even resents relationships.

Emma then goes on to explain why Taylor’s future husband was a completely different person. Many of us psychologically are drawn to partners who reflect our own personal development, she explains.

“When Taylor was younger, partners like John Mayer or Harry Styles matched her sense of experimentation, discovery, and creative tumult. Joe Alwyn arrived during a more private, insular period of her life, offering the quiet safety she craved when she wanted to step away from the spotlight.

“Matty Healy brought spontaneity, some creative chaos, and unpredictability,” perhaps as an echo of her own restlessness at that time. but Travis ? He represents equality, maturity, and stability. She doesn’t threaten him with her wealth, fame, or story. He prefers to celebrate it. That kind of support promotes true partnership rather than dependency, which allows a relationship to flourish.

Taylor’s regrettable experiences have already served as inspiration for award-winning songs, but they may also serve as the foundation for a healthy marriage. What about those past misfortunes, then? They, oddly enough, could have a major impact on her marriage,” Emma ponders.

Taylor has learned about herself, her limits, her needs, and her dealbreakers from each relationship she has had. Even though those chapters provided the clarity she needed to recognize true love when it finally manifested, they still provided it.

Travis resembles Taylor’s fairytale endings, which she has been singing about since her Fearless days in many ways. She appears to be entering her Lover era for real, this time not as a metaphor but as a marriage, after spending her career turning heartbreak into anthems. She appears to have found the person who makes her feel welcome, seen, and celebrated even though she is no longer writing about being “enchanted to meet” someone.

Continue reading the article.

Travis is more than just a romantic partner; he also serves as a safe haven. Taylor doesn’t have to stoop to fit someone else’s ego or let her light shine in order to guard her fragile pride with him. She can be who she truly is, which is ultimately what we all deserve in love.

“Travis reflects Taylor’s desire for permanence, as if her former partners did, reflecting her search for identity. She may have been waiting for him all along because he complements her rather than completes her. That is the foundation that truly endures when it comes to marriage.

Some people were obviously moved by the post, but others found it to be one of Swift’s recent writings to be the most repulsive.

Another wrote: “Assumed this was some kind of in-joke about a pair of actual teachers getting married. What the f**k do you mean it was actually Taylor Swift?”

Another person continued, “I will be so for real I genuinely thought it was a fan account posting the news.”

However, other people chose to celebrate the news rather than be offended by the caption. One user wrote, “Stoppp, I thought it was cute in the low key. I’m not sure, but I’m thinking it because every English professor I’ve ever had was obsessed with Taylor.

Another shared: “The head football coach of my high school married to a renowned English teacher. I guess I made sense of it.

Meanwhile messages congratulating the couple have poured in from across the world. Even US president Donald Trump joined in to celebrate the couple.

The 47th POTUS said, “I wish them a lot of luck. He is a fantastic player, in my opinion. a fantastic man. And I consider her to be a wonderful person.
