Adventurer Charley Boorman has revealed he is suffering from testicular cancer.

Sadly, the 43-year-old underwent surgery in February to remove one of his testicles when doctors discovered a lump.

Charley told the Daily Record: "It hasn't spread, I'm going to be alright, but I would urge every one of you guys when you go home tonight to have a good grope. It makes sense to make sure you're okay. For most guys it's not life-threatening and they even gave me a replacement."

He's known for starring with Ewan Mcgregor in the documentary TV series Long Way Round and Long Way Down, which saw the two friends travel around-the-world on their motorcycles.

The family misses him, if he had of checked eariler things would have been ok. But because it was so sudden and he never checked himself, it was too late to do anything to save him. he died within 6 months. get your self checked guys. caio
