ANGIE Best, the first wife of football legend George Best, has received a colon cancer diagnosis.
The news was shared by the pair's son, Calum Best, 44, through a video on Instagram which he posted on Thursday.
Calum revealed his 73-year-old mother received the diagnosis several weeks ago, with the disease having already metastasised to her liver.
He said: "A few weeks ago, my beautiful, wonderful mum was diagnosed with cancer.
"For as long as I can remember, she has lived her life rooted in health, fitness and wellbeing.
"She has always believed in taking care of the body, mind and soul. But as we all know, cancer doesn't discriminate.
