Bob Mortimer has discovered he is 'at risk of 22 cancers' due to his recent weight gain, in scenes set to air during the new series of Gone Fishing this week.
The comedian, 63, declared that it is his 'mission' to reduce his waist size after he and fellow presenter Paul Whitehouse discovered that a waist size of over 102cm is high risk.
He previously underwent major heart surgery in 2015 when his heart was stopped for 32 minutes after discovering that 95% of his arteries were blocked.
