Paul Burrell shares update amid cancer battle
Paul Burrell rang the bell in a cancer ward after revealing that he has completed his radiotherapy treatment. The former royal butler received treatment at The Christie Hospital after being diagnosed with prostate cancer last year.
But Paul wouldn’t have known about his cancer if he didn’t take the medical tests for the new I’m A Celebrity show. Talking on Lorraine, Paul recently confessed that his stint on I’m A Celebrity: South Africa “literally saved my life”.
He claimed when he did his health checks before heading out to South Africa, his doctors were concerned about his raised prostate-specific antigen levels. Although Paul was allowed to continue on with the show, he was advised to investigate the issue further when he headed back to the UK.

However, when he came home, his results left him with some devastating news. He told Lorraine: “I’m A Celebrity literally saved my life. I went for the medical and they found a raised PSA level.
“I went to my GP and I said to him: ‘Am I still able to do the show?’ And he said: ‘Look, this can wait until you get back. And when you get back we’ll continue with the investigations.’ So when I got back, then I had an MRI scan. Then I had a biopsy and then they told me I had cancer.”
