Comedian Milton Jones has cancelled several summer tour dates after being diagnosed with treatable prostate cancer.
The 60-year-old announced he will be undergoing surgery in the coming weeks and needs time to recover.
The much-loved funnyman, known for his deadpan delivery and appearances on shows like Mock The Week and Live At The Apollo, shared the news with fans today.
