Paul Burrell rings bell after finishing radiotherapy for prostate cancer in heart-warming video

Paul Burrell has been filmed ringing the bell after completing radiotherapy treatment for his prostate cancer.

Princess Diana's former butler, 64, filmed a video at The Christie Hospital on Tuesday as he celebrated a momentous milestone in his oncology journey.

In his video, the beaming star shared the moment with fans, saying: “I just want to thank all the staff here for their incredible professionalism.'

And in the caption, Paul continued his praise for the treatment centre, writing: “The radiotherapy treatment for my prostate cancer is now complete….onwards and upwards!

“I cannot thank the staff at The Christie enough. Their support throughout the process has been absolutely incredible.

“…..and men over 50, please ask your GP for a PSA test!”

Last week, the former royal butler credited I'm A Celebrity for saving his life after medical checks for the show led to his cancer diagnosis.

Paul was told he had prostrate cancer after a medical check-up ahead of appearing on I'm A Celebrity All Stars flagged he had raised PSA levels.

He returned to the jungle alongside former contestants such as Carol Vorderman, Phil Tufnell and Jordan Banjo, for the all-stars edition, set to air next month.

Paul, who has been keeping fans up to date with his cancer treatment, revealed his health diagnosis was down to the show.

Speaking on Lorraine last week, Paul said: “That show, I’m A Celebrity, literally saved my life.

“Because I went for the medical [and] they found a raised PSA level. I went to my GP and I said to him, ‘Am I still able to do the show?’ And he said, ‘Look, this can wait until you get back [from filming] and when you get back, we’ll continue with the investigations.'

“So when I got back, then I had an MRI scan and then I had a biopsy and then they told me that I had cancer, and then I had to go on the path of treatment.”

Paul later shared, “I’m so grateful to ITV for picking me to do the jungle because, without that, I would still be sat here today not knowing I had cancer growing inside of me. So my journey is a happy one."
