CHRIS Hughes has revealed his brother Ben has been diagnosed with testicular cancer just weeks after he took part in a live TV exam on This Morning.
The Love Island star shocked viewers in November last year when he featured in the live testicular cancer check with the show’s Doctor Chris Steele.
Chris, 26, wanted to help raise awareness but sadly he took to Instagram tonight to reveal the disease had struck much closer to home than he could have ever expected.
Sharing a throwback picture with his brother from when they were children, Chris wrote: “A sad day. My brother was diagnosed with testicular cancer this lunchtime, in which we pray for a kind prognosis.
“He came into my room at 3am the morning after my testicular examination on tv, clearly struggling to sleep, telling me he’d found a lump and asked me if he’s checking it right.
“To which I told him, ‘Ben, it’s 3am, I’ll look in the morning, but if there’s a lump, go and check it checked tomorrow with the doctor’.
“Today he sent me a message telling me the news, and thanking me for making him aware, else he’d never have known he had cancer.. That literally broke my heart.
“Testicular cancer is a silent killer, men need realise this and check themselves regularly. It takes 10 seconds. Please do it.”
His This Morning appearance wasn’t the first time Chris had been open about his genitals on TV as he appeared on Loose Women to discuss his previous battle with a varicocele, which put him at risk of being infertile.

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum and is a common cause of decreased sperm quality and production which can cause infertility.
Despite first spotting the genital abnormality at 14, Chris admitted it was six years before he finally consulted doctors.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
