'If you're over 50, in a high-risk group or have a family history, get yourself checked'

Dermot's plea after revealing his prostate cancer

- By Hanna Geissler Health Editor

FORMER Sky News presenter Dermot Murnaghan has urged men aged over 50 to “insist” on getting tested for prostate cancer following his stage four diagnosis.

The veteran broadcaster, 67, revealed his illness last week and said he was “responding positively” to treatment.

He has now told how the first sign came during a trip with his wife to South East Asia in 2023, when he felt “distinctly weird”.
