Comedian Milton Jones reveals he has prostate cancer and cancels UK tour dates
Comedian Milton Jones revealed he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and has cancelled a number of UK tour dates as he undergoes surgery. The 60-year-old, who is known for his appearances on Mock The Week, said his cancer was treatable in an Instagram post, where he added that a number of further tour dates would be rescheduled. In the post, he said: "Thanks for your support and respecting my privacy during this time. This decision has not been taken lightly, trust me. "Abnormal service will resume as soon as possible and I'm looking forward to being back out on the road again soon – though probably not on a bike."

Olympic cyclist Sir Chris Hoy, who himself has stage four cancer after his prostate cancer spread, was among those responding to Jones's post, saying: "Really sorry to hear it mate, best of luck." Fellow comedian Al Murray said: "All the best Milton for a speedy recovery." Announcing the cancellation, Jones said: "I'm so sorry about this but I need to announce the cancellation of several dates from my ongoing Ha!Milton Tour. Ticket holders for the cancelled shows will be contacted directly by the venue box office." The Richmond-born comedian said shows in Leeds, Coventry, Basingstoke, Sterts, Launceston, Durham, Hexham, Ilkley, Wakefield, Lichfield, Tunbridge Wells, Portsmouth and Lyme Regis would no longer go ahead, while shows in Colchester, London, Bridlington and Stroud would be rescheduled to autumn. Jones said all of the dates currently planned for autumn would be unaffected. The NHS says prostate cancer develops slowly, so there may be no signs for years, but says signs may include an increased need to urinate, straining while urinating and a feeling that the bladder has not fully emptied. Jones's career has seen him perform on Live At The Apollo, Lee Mack's All Star Cast and Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow. Looking for more from MyLondon?
