Good Morning Britain hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley have reached out to BBC news star George Alagiah after it was revealed that his cancer has spread.
It was back in 2014 that 6 o'clock news presenter George was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. After taking a break from work to have extensive treatment, George delighted viewers by returning to our screens, before being dealt a huge blow when the cancer returned in 2017.
And now, after he was forced to step back from his work last year after contracting coranvirus, a representative for George confirmed that the cancer has now spread, with the host first being told the heartbreaking news last year.
