Kenny said: "I got a wellness check and sat down with the guy and he said: 'everything's fine but your prostate is high'.

"I got checked and within three or four months I had a biopsy. This year, in February, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer which was a huge shock.

"I decided to get it taken out and I'm probably 95% back to normal. When you're told you've got cancer, I literally fell over it.

"I didn't see it coming, no symptoms whatsoever. I had to go looking for it."

Wife Gabby, 49, added: "The day before he went in for his operation, he'd done a bike session, he had no pain, no symptoms.

The Scots sportsman finished the interview with a warning and said: "Go looking for it."

The couple have discussed Kenny's diagnosis on Gabby's The Mid Point podcast, which can be accessed here.
