The Olympic champion, 48, announced last year that he had been diagnosed with the disease. Doctors have suggested he had between two and four years to live.

He is backing Prostate Cancer UK's online risk checker, which has led to thousands of men getting an early diagnosis since it launched in 2022.

A partnership with Marks & Spencer will see his message shared in stores across the country, including through QR codes in fitting rooms and on its website. M&S will also donate £4 per pack sold of men's Autograph (excluding vests and socks) to Prostate Cancer underwear underwear UK until the end of March.
