He said he underwent surgery in January to have the prostate removed and “it seemed to go pretty well”.

Fry, 60, shared the news in a video posted online via Twitter, in which he described it as “a rather unwelcome and unexpected adventure”.

He said he had seen his doctor in December in order to get a flu jab, it was later discovered that he had cancer, adding that this is the reason “why I’ve been out of the public eye”.
