BBC News At Six regular, George Alagiah has announced that he is stepping back from presenting the channel's evening news bulletin. It has been reported that scans showed his bowel cancer has spread further.
Sadly, once again, the news broadcasting favourite has revealed that he will once again have to take a break from his BBC duties to 'sort out the tough stuff'. George's agent, Mary Greenham, broke the news to followers on social media, writing on his behalf: "A recent scan showed that my cancer has spread further so it's back to some tough stuff."Despite being in agony while working, George says his job still gives him a boost.
"It is near my L5 lowest vertebra. I've spent a lot of the last 18 months in extreme pain. There have been times when even lying down makes it worse," he told The Sunday Telegraph. The newsreader, who returned to screens in April after a six-month break, had previously said of working with his condition: “I’ve spent a lot of the last 18 months in extreme pain. There have been times when even lying down makes it worse.
