Renowned BBC food critic and radio personality, Giles Coren, recently shared some personal news with his fans. In an article for The Times, he revealed that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. This revelation comes at a time when prostate cancer has become the most common form of cancer in England, as reported by The Times.
Giles takes us through the journey of his diagnosis, which was a slow and unexpected process. It all started when his doctors found a malignant tumor and assured him that it was a "slow cancer" and quite common. Initially, he was hesitant to have a biopsy, but as his prostate-specific antigen test showed concerning results, he agreed to undergo further testing. The results showed that he had less than a millimeter of cancer in just three out of 21 samples, which does not require immediate treatment but needs to be closely monitored.
Using his signature humor, Giles shared this news with his readers in an article titled "Cancer Latest: My Prostate is Bang on Trend". For those who may not know, Giles is a well-known British columnist, food writer, and television and radio presenter. He has been a restaurant critic for The Times since 2002.
In his article, Giles humorously recounts some awkward encounters with doctors during his biopsy and testing. He even asked his doctor if he was going to put his finger up his bum, to which the doctor replied, "Not unless you especially want me to." Giles reflected on his doctor's sense of humor, saying he is the GP he deserves.
Giles has been married to his wife Esther Walker since 2010, and they have a son and daughter together. They reside in Kentish Town, London. Throughout his successful career, Giles has appeared on several food-focused series, mostly on the BBC. Some of his notable appearances include Gordon Ramsay's The F Word, The Supersizers, and Back in Time for Dinner. He also presented Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby from 2017 to 2022.
Fun fact: Giles is the older brother of journalist Victoria Coren Mitchell, who is married to comedian David Mitchell. His father, the late Alan Coren, was also a journalist.
