BBC star Nick Owen diagnosed with 'extensive and aggressive' prostate cancer

Nick Owen has opened up about his prostate cancer diagnosis and says it was the "worst day of his life" when he found out. The BBC Midlands Today presenter, 75, has been a staple on the show for 26 years.

Speaking on BBC Midlands Today, he said: “I went to a specialist, he wasn't too worried because my figures weren't that high. But he decided I ought to have a scan, and then the scan said there was something dodgy going on. He added: "And it was a very, very difficult time for me, and indeed for my wife Vicki who was by my side all the time through this, you know. It was grim.”
