Steve Wright was a true friend, colleague and confidente. We shared many a broadcast over the years, many a joke and many a quiet meal together, getting to know the private man people rarely saw. He was beloved by millions as well as myself and will be sorely missed. Rest in

Apologies to anyone who thought I was denigrating the Republic of Ireland’s HSE. That was never my intention the point I was making is that different countries have different health systems, different demographics & different current circumstances regarding #coronavirus.

Newspapers are regarded as an essential service to keep people updated & no more so than during this crisis, deliveries can safely proceed as papers can be collected from the newsagent whilst keeping 2m apart & they can be delivered & left on the doorstep or through the letterbox.

This is why internationally the approaches of scientific & medical experts differ. I understand the service in Ireland is not totally free at the point of delivery as it is under our NHS & I was under a lot of pressure to answer as many questions on todays programme as possible.

We lost Bill Turnbull to prostate cancer a year ago today. Bill’s diagnosis came too late for a cure, but prostate cancer is treatable if caught early. That’s why it’s crucial to know your risk. Take @prostateuk’s 30-second risk checker: #BroadcastItLIkeBill.
“Don’t wait like I did - check your risk.”. One year on from his passing, Bill Turnbull's legacy lives on in the thousands of men he inspired to check their risk and get an early diagnosis. Let’s honour Bill’s legacy together. Let’s #BroadcastItLikeBill:

Side-effects of cancer or it’s treatment can be distressing and embarrassing at times but it is always manageable. Talking about them and finding solutions can be liberating and make life fun again. Macmillan are there to help.
1 in 5 people living with cancer in the UK find it difficult to seek help for symptoms or side effects because they feel embarrassed 😳 . We want to change that 💚 #CancerTaboos
