53-year old broadcaster Danny Baker has given all the clear on the cancer, after losing two-and-a half stone. "I'm looking forward to becoming fat again, " he says.
Nine months ago, Danny Baker was diagnosed with cancer of the mouth and throat, but it wasn't officially announced as replacement presenters took over on his six BBC radio slots.
The NME journalist, scriptwriter, TV presenter and radio DJ collected his award for Sony Radio Personality of the Year recently which prompted him to reveal the details of his recent cancer nightmare. The experience had been awful, he said, and he was looking forward to becoming fat again.
"I've lost two-and-a-half stone, but I won't be bringing out a DVD on how I did it,' he said. "I've had a horrible time."
Before the cancer whicjh destroyed his saliva glands struck, Baker often marked the end of each show with a couple of bottles of wine. "White wine tastes like Brillo pads, " he says. "I managed four spoonfuls of lasagne today. "There are very few things I can eat, " he says.
Recently, a euphoric Danny announced on Twitter that he had just been given the all-clear. "The call I have been waiting for just happened. Turns out I won. I'm all clear. I'm well again."
