"I had this little thing in the back of my head, a weird feeling. I just wasn't sure about testicles and problems in that area.
"I was awkward about it and really wasn't sure. But he said to me, 'Shall we do a quick examination?'"
The popular DJ said it felt "really sore" during the examination, which he was told was not normal.

Chris, who presents Capital FM's Breakfast Show with Jordan North and Sian Welby, went public with his testicular cancer diagnosis last week.
After being absent from the airwaves for a week, he told fans about his medical journey in an emotional Instagram post.
On Monday, Chris returned to work at Capital and was met with a group hug from his emotional co-stars Jordan and Sian.
He is now determined to raise awareness of testicular cancer in a bid to prevent early diagnosis in other men.
During Thursday's This Morning, he told hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: "I’m affectively cured and will be monitored every month as there’s a chance it could come back.
"I find myself constantly googling which is terrible, but I’ve also become a lot more proactive and positive.
"I’ve been amazed by how many blokes who have DM’d me."
Chris added: "I’m more than happy to put my one ball on the line if it keeps the conversation going!"
