Bill Turnbull, Linda Nolan, Dr Dr Ranj Singh, and Dame Deborah James are among personalities backing a new NHS campaign promoting cancer awareness and encouraging the public to continue to get symptoms checked, regardless of the coronavirus pandemic.

Turnbull, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018, said 'Cancer is a cruel disease and unfortunately it did not disappear during the coronavirus outbreak. We know that it’s all too easy to put something like this off, but please do contact the NHS if you have any signs of cancer'.
