- Under current NHS guidance, PSA tests are not routinely offered but can be requested by men over 50 and by high-risk individuals at an earlier age.
- The former presenter urges all men to insist on regular PSA monitoring to catch prostate cancer before it progresses to advanced stages.
- He will join Sir Chris Hoy’s Tour de 4 cycling challenge in Glasgow this September to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer charities.
