Charley Boorman in cancer scare

Celebrity motorcycle adventurer Charley Boorman has revealed he went through a cancer scare leading to an operation to remove a testicle, just one week before starting his UK live tour.

Boorman, 43, has now been given the all-clear, but has been telling audiences across the country about his ordeal, and is encouraging more men to get checked out.

"I was lucky, blokes really do need to check themselves," said Charlie. "All the information is available at www.cancerresearchuk.org."
