Television personality Tommy Walsh recently shared some concerning news with his fans. During a conference for The Swallows Head and Neck Cancer Charity, he revealed that he had found a tumour in his lung. The Ground Force star, who is 67 years old, explained that the tumour was discovered during a scan for an unrelated complaint and required urgent treatment.
Despite the worrying news, Tommy tried to maintain a positive attitude and even joked about the situation during his talk at the conference. However, he admitted that he had an urgent, emergency appointment scheduled for the following day in London. He also expressed his gratitude to the audience for cheering him up and allowing him to reminisce and talk.
Tommy rose to fame as a builder on the popular BBC show Ground Force, which he co-hosted with Charlie Dimmock and Alan Titchmarsh. Over the years, he has built a successful TV career with various shows spanning three decades. However, he has also faced health challenges, including a past experience with throat cancer.
During his talk at the conference, Tommy opened up about his health struggles and the recent discovery of the tumour in his lung. He also revealed that he would have to leave the conference early and would not be able to join the guests for drinks later on. He asked for their understanding and support, and even joked that they could have a few drinks on his behalf.
Since the news of the tumour broke, there has been speculation that Tommy may be replaced as the host of the show Homes Under the Hammer. However, neither Tommy nor the BBC have made any official statements about this. According to reports, the show's producers are looking for a "makeover" to appeal to younger viewers, and weather presenter Owain Wyn Evans has been rumored to be Tommy's replacement.
Tommy's health struggles have not stopped him from continuing to work and appear on TV shows such as Clean It, Fix It for the BBC. In a 2022 campaign for cancer awareness, he shared his experience with throat cancer and how it was discovered during a routine check-up. He also mentioned that the disease and subsequent treatment caused him to lose weight, but he has since gained most of it back.
Tommy has always been open about his health and has used his platform to raise awareness and encourage others to prioritize their health. He also expressed his gratitude for the support and understanding of his fans during this difficult time. The Agency has reached out to Tommy's representative for comment, and the BBC has previously been contacted for a statement.
