PR Guru Max Clifford has been battling prostate cancer for the last six months, it has been revealed.
The agent, who has worked for a host of celebrities including Simon Cowell and Kerry Katona, told the Daily Mail: "Last October I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
"I've decided to go public because I am nearing the end of nine weeks of radiotherapy. I was lucky to have had an early diagnosis.
"Without it I wouldn't make it beyond two years, but as a result of my treatment I stand a good chance of living for a long time.
"I hope that by speaking out I can encourage other men to have a regular checkup and perhaps save their lives, too."
