Stephen Fry has announced that he is receiving treatment for prostate cancer.
The actor and writer revealed the news in a video message on his personal blog on Friday.
He underwent surgery to remove lymph nodes before Christmas after being diagnosed following a routine check-up by his doctor, who he had booked an appointment with to receive a flu jab.
Surgery is said to have gone well, with doctors telling him: "It's all been got."
Introducing the link to his blog on Twitter, Mr Fry wrote: "For the last 2 months I've been in the throes of a rather unwelcome and unexpected adventure."
"I'm sorry I haven't felt able to talk about it till now, but here I am explaining what has been going on."
