For breast cancer it is three per cent.

The news is even worse for those who spent 30 years overweight — fatal bowel cancer risk rises by 224 per cent.

For breast cancer it goes up 143 per cent.

Experts studied 47,000 women but expect similar results in men.

Two thirds of adults are overweight or obese.

It can raise key hormones, damage DNA and trigger inflammation.

All are linked with tumour growth.

Researcher Dr Isabelle Soerjomataram, of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, said: “Our research shows that effective prevention of overweight and obesity must start at an early age.”

More than 55,000 Brits are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, with 11,500 dying.
