News about Mark Steel

Mark Steel has shared the happy news he is now cancer free as he revealed the doctors 'saved his life' following his battle with throat cancer.  The comedian, 63, revealed he had been diagnosed with the disease back in October after he discovered a lump in his neck while shaving. While Mark assured fans at the time that it was a cancer 'that can be got rid of', he shared the relieving news that he is now cancer free on Friday.  

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Comedian Mark Steel, who recently revealed that he is fighting throat cancer, is dealing with upheaval in his personal life as a result of the swapping of one comedienne girlfriend for another. Steel, who revealed last year that he was "the love of my life," is now in a blossoming new friendship with another comedienne, flame-haired Caroline 'Cally' Beaton. She is assisting him as he fights his illness, and she refers to her as his 'partner'. Beaton, 54, shared a snapshot of Steel in his hospital gown on social media, with the caption: 'Stuffing his face and doing well.' The Throat Cancer poster boy. And we've already got at least two shows and a book out of it.'

Before doctors diagnosed throat cancer as throat cancer, Mark Steel's initial thought of a newfound lump in his neck was so trivial it could be treated with 'vaseline or garlic.' The comedian, who is 63, noticed the rise while shaving, and was given the pessimist news six weeks after. In The Mirror, he went to the doctors expecting to be told there is no need to be concerned; it's a harmless lump that can be treated with Vaseline and garlic.'

Since discovering a lump in his neck while shaving, Mark Steel has confirmed he has been diagnosed with throat cancer. On Monday, the comedian, 63, announced the devastating illness on his blog, but then promised that it is not a disease 'that can be avoided.' When shaving in June, he said he had noticed his neck 'looking much larger than normal,' but the signs went away after googling, and he suspected it was an infection.

Calls have grown to throw the England team a hero's parade and smear players for winning the first-ever Women's World Cup final.

After suffering the agonising loss, screaming players were consoled on the field in Australia, causing millions of fans to tune in up and down the region. The Lionesses were eventually defeated by Olga Carmona's first half strike when Mary Earps, the tournament's top goalkeeper, made a spectacular penalty save, earning the Golden Glove award for the tournament's best goalkeeper.

After the airing of Happy Valley's last episode, Thomas W Hodgkinson ventures to the Yorkshire town where much of the episode was shot in order to get a 'fix' for the Happy Valley.'

Radio 4 is fighting allegations that the BBC's comedy output is marred by a Left-wing bias by telling program designers that 'humour shouldn't only come from one political viewpoint.' The station has also asked its factual suppliers to 'check the political assumptions underpinning your theory.' Bosses are also trying to convince producers that Radio 4 has become too bleak, and that it is not looking for 'unremitting grief and bleakness' in its drama output, according to its boss.
