James Whale, 73, shares heartbreaking health update amid terminal cancer battle after revealing there were ‘no treatments left’

James Whale has shared another heartbreaking health update amid his battle with terminal cancer, after revealing there were ‘no treatments left’. 

The broadcaster, 73, is battling stage four kidney cancer that has spread to his spine, brain and lungs, and had previously said Christmas 2023 could be his last.

Speaking on his TalkTV show on Friday, which he said could soon come to an end due to his ill health, told viewers that things were getting ‘very very difficult’ and he had resorted to wearing make-up on the air to appear healthy. 

During a conversation with a guest who’d lost her husband to cancer James said:  ‘Until very recently, everything was quite normal for me, everything was fine, and then you do get to a stage like I am now, with things get to be very very difficult’.

‘To anybody else who is in the final stages of cancer, you have my sympathy. I know exactly what you’re going through, I do know, I look basically okay, I get told you look alright and I look okay, it’s all make-up’.
