The 60-year-old tweeted a 12 minute video with the news, he wrote: "For the last 2 months I’ve been in the throes of a rather unwelcome and unexpected adventure.

After an MRI scan, which Fry described as "taking a sledgehammer to a peanut", cancerous tissues were found in his prostate. https://twitter.com/stephenfry/status/967000834805465089 In early January Fry underwent surgery, which he said "went well", aimed at removing the "aggressive" cancerous tissue. He said: "Cancer is a word that rings in your head. 'I’ve got cancer' I kept saying to myself, good heavens. "You’re not supposed to get cancer. I know it’s a cliche but you don’t think it’s going to happen to you, cancer is something that happens to other people."
