The radio legend revealed the news on his show today
The Virgin Radio broadcaster confirmed that doctors gave him the diagnosis recently but discovered the condition while it was in the early stages. It comes just four years after Chris said he had a cancer scare after discovering marks on his body, the Mirror reports.
Speaking on his show today, he said: "We need to discuss what's going on with this issue. It is a melanoma. There's this phrase called a malignant melanoma - you know once you get something and you find out all about it - that is a redundant phrase because if it is a melanoma it is malignant."But it's been caught so early, just so you know, that it should be completely treatable. Treatment will happen on the 14th of September.
