Astrologer Russell Grant has admitted he was 'in denial' after being diagnosed with a brain tumour - as he praises the surgeon who encouraged him to have a major invasive operation.
The TV personality and Strictly star, 71, underwent a six-hour invasion procedure to remove a tumour on his pituitary gland shortly before Christmas.
He had the procedure to remove the lump from his pituitary gland after doctors said it threatened to 'blank out' his optic nerve.
But Grant has revealed how he was 'so scared' prior to the procedure, adding that he was full of gratitude for the medical team whom completed the operation.
He told The Mirror: 'I was in denial. I was so scared. Then one day I had a Zoom call with my neurosurgeon Professor Omar Pathmanaban. He was lovely, so reassuring.
