TV presenter, 74, shocked as he's diagnosed with skin cancer live on-air
A TV presenter was left reeling live on air when a doctor appearing on the programme discovered he had skin cancer. Fox News anchor Mike Jerrick, 74, was hosting Good Day Philadelphia when dermatologist Dr Joanna Walker in the studio pointed out a spot on his arm that was likely to be cancerous. Walker works with the Tara Miller Melanoma Center at the University of Pennsylvania and was quick to label the skin abnormality as having 'all the features' that would suggest it was skin cancer. She pointed to the spot on his arm and said: 'This is a basal cell skin cancer. That has all the features of the most common type of skin cancer.' Basal cell cancer is the most common type of skin cancer and looks like a raised bump on the skin, which may be shiny and also have little blood vessels across it. Walker went on to say that the type of skin cancer he was showing was 'slow growing' and easy to treat, but that he would have to have it removed from his arm. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Jerrick wondered if it would need to be burned off, but Walker explained it would require being 'cut and stitched'. 'What!' Jerrick exclaimed. 'And then stitch me up?' To which Walker replied: 'This one is a very slow growing type of skin cancer. 'It's not going to spread to anywhere else on your body, but it needs to be removed so it doesn't keep growing and taking over normal skin.' More Trending Jerrick was clearly shocked by the discovery in the studio, telling the Fox News audience: 'I did say that we should have had her bring her [micro]scope because I wanted to check out of couple of things on my arms, so that part was planned, but I never really thought it was going to be skin cancer.' Jerrick told his co-host Alex Holley he would be booking an appointment to follow Walker's advice, adding: 'When she blurted it out, I didn't get alarmed or anything. It was just like, 'Oh dang, I should have done this a long time ago'.' He added: 'I was more shocked that she said she was going to cut it out instead of burn it off- that's where I got surprised.'

Emotional Russell Martin shares heartbreaking tale of violent and abusive father that shaped incoming Rangers boss
The 39-year-old is on the brink of being appointed boss at Ibrox and shared the tale of his tough upbringing Rangers manager-in-waiting Russell Martin shared the heartbreaking story of his tough upbringing with an abusive dad and how it shaped his football career. The 39-year-old opened up recently in an emotional interview with England strike legend Gary Lineker and spoke candidly of his complex relationship with his late Scottish dad, Dean. Martin - capped 29 times for Scotland - admitted there was 'too much violence' from his dad towards his mum Kerry in his household as he was growing up with his three brothers and his dad. After his mother moved out, Martin and his brothers forced his father out and they mucked in to fend for themselves with Martin cleaning pub toilets and working in supermarkets before moving into the professional ranks at the relatively late age of 18. Martin, who has also had to battle ulcerative colitis during his career, admitted it was tough but that it has also helped him in his role as a captain in his playing days and a manager. Rangers boss. Martin was the second youngest of four brothers, growing up in Brighton. The family home was lost to his gambling debts — and he moved them next door to a bookies where he would hone his footballing skills while his dad was inside punting. Speaking to Lineker in the Rest Is Football podcast, he shared the heartbreaking story. He said: 'It was interesting, colourful (early life and upbringing). It was busy. A house with four boys. It was turbulent. It was difficult in some ways but it's given me a lot which I'm grateful for. 'There was too much violence and it became a bit normal. From my dad to my mum. I witnessed a lot of it. A lot of my childhood was spent trying to placate the adults in my life. 'So very early on I recognised I had some level of opportunity to impact my dad enough for it to not get to that point. Or to talk my mum down from the ledge where it would go beyond and there was no turning back. 'It was very tense, a lot of suppressed feeling a lot of the time trying to read body language. It's actually given me in a leadership role, I was captain for most of the clubs I played for, and it's given me a bit of intuition around body language and energy and feeling so I'm grateful for that side, although I'd rather it didn't happen. 'A lot of it was trying to protect my littler brother and shield him from that. We were close in age but I felt very protective of my mum early on. "The problem with my dad was he had the capability to be amazing and really likeable but the gap between him at his best and worst was too big. 'And he was a big gambler so the day depended on how he did at the bookies and he worked nights on the taxis so you couldn't make a sound in the morning so it was eggshells a lot of the time and I spent a lot of time kicking the ball against the bookies wall. 'My dad was great in some ways but I'd never do with my kids what he did with me. He would drop me and my brother a mile from home when it was dark and make us run home by a certain time. 'He put a lot of pressure on us boys because he was a good footballer and boxer. On a Sunday you had the ability to make it a good day by playing well. 'He managed my brother's teams so he had it a lot harder than me. I tried to do everything in spite. To prove that I could do it. It built a lot of resilience in me, the ability to feel physical pain and keep going but also emotional pain and intolerance for it. My brother couldn't quite deal with it." Martin explained how the pain was a driving force in his career, adding: 'I used it to spur me on. It can be as big a drive is anyway - I've been in dressing rooms where it's the same and people do it in spite of their leader. 'My mum moved out when I was 15 and together we said to dad 'you're gone'. My older brother took us on and kept the house going. I worked cleaning pubs to try and chip in, I worked in the Spar and Co up the road. I was training three nights a week, we all dug in but it was a really difficult time. 'I was cleaning the brass on the door handles of pub toilet doors. I did it the first day and the boss walked me round to say it wasn't finished. I couldn't see it so I went and got an eye test and it turned out I was shortsighted.'

I found the perfect name for my daughter until I realised how it sounded out loud – I'm not the only one who struggled
CHOOSING your child's name is an exciting but significant decision. For some, the perfect name comes naturally, while others might find themselves overthinking - wondering if their child will like it or if it will even suit them once they're born. 1 One mum, Jodie Hoyle, found herself in this exact predicament. She believed she had picked a 'really likeable' name for her daughter - until she realised how it sounded alongside her surname. Jodie, who goes by ' jodiephoyle ' on TikTok, shared her experience in a video that quickly caught attention. She asked other TikTok users to share the names they loved but couldn't use because of how they paired with their surnames. In her case, she had her heart set on calling her daughter Olive, only to realise it would sound far too much like 'Olive Oil' when said together. Her relatable story had many parents chiming in with their own naming dilemmas. In fact, Jodie's video gained 277.1k views after just four days of it being shared, as 1,159 people also rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts and experiences. One wrote: 'My husband likes Skye. Our surname is Walker.' A second added: 'I knew of a girl called Peyton Paton, and yes her parents chose that.' A third commented: 'Scott but my surname is Chegg.' Channel 4 star horrifies fans as she reveals 'truly awful' baby names ahead of birth of second child However, some didn't snap onto it so quickly with some asking for more information. Then there was a response of 'it sounds like scotch egg.' Someone else added: 'I know a girl called Krystal who was adopted by her step dad, his surname was Ball.' Another said: 'My favourite girl's name is Etta. Our surname is Curry.' The struggle of choosing a baby name CHLOE Morgan, a Senior Writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma on choosing a baby name... At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name. The dilemmas are endless... My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could - partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we'd only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two. How wrong we were... I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I'd already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I've had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top baby which I wish I could go back in time and un-hear. With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can't help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it's something that none of them would mind in the slightest - it's a total me problem! The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums - can you choose the same name that was a "potential" for a friend's baby? It's a very divisive topic and opinions are always I don't want to be THAT person. While some will argue there's thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR all, there's no guarantee that person will even have another baby. Then there's also the issue of finding a name you to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can't shake off. I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won't reveal it because I don't want to ruin it for others!) ...only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead. So, back to the drawing board we went.. Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as 'baby gal' for a little while longer! And this TikToker wrote: 'My dad asked why we didn't use his middle name like we did for our kids' middle names…. His name is Gordon, our surname is Bennett.' A seventh laughed, while saying: 'Jack, surname is Daniel's.' And someone else suggested: 'It doesn't matter what name they are given at birth… they can marry a new one like I did…….'
