TalkTV host James Whale reveals he is dying of terminal cancer in heartbreaking speech

TalkTV and talkRADIO presenter James Whale has announced he is dying of terminal cancer.

The radio host, 71, shared his fight with the disease as he gave a heartbreaking speech at the British Curry Awards in London on Monday night.

James said he has just months to live - two years after he revealed he was fighting cancer which had spread to his brain, spine, kidney, and lungs.

Addressing the audience at the ceremony, he said: "I know a lot of you won't like me, but this time next year I won't be here. I have terminal cancer. As you might be able to hear, I am having chemotherapy which makes it harder for me to breathe, but I'm OK. Don't worry".

"I am in my 70s now and I just want to say don't waste your time on stupid things that don't matter.", he said, according to MailOnline.

James rocketed to fame in the 1980s when he established himself as the host of The James Whale Radio Show in Leeds.

The radio presenter was a big name on talkSPORT for 13 years.

Later, he starred in Celebrity Big Brother in 2016.
