This Morning today – Dr Zoe performs testicular cancer check
On This Morning, brave guest Alex stripped off for a testicular cancer check live on air.
Wearing gloves, Dr Zoe then performed the check as she encouraged male viewers to get comfortable with the process.
“If you’re worried about it, just have a go,” she said.
The doctor went on: “It’s a skill, and the more you practice, the more you get used to it.”
‘Men should check too’
After the check, Zoe turned to host Ben and joked: “Don’t men have their hands in their pants a lot of the time anyway?”
He responded: “You’re right. When you’re sitting around… and women check their breasts regularly, so men should too.”
Viewers praise This Morning
This Morning viewers at home were quick to praise the ITV show for raising awareness over the topic.
“Brave bloke getting his bits out on TV. You should definitely check yourself – believe me, the earlier it’s caught, the better,” said one person.
Another viewer wrote: “Wasn’t ready for that. However, it does raise awareness.”
A third penned: “I wasn’t expecting to turn on the TV and immediately be faced with a pair of [bleep]s.”
Someone else wrote: “Thanks for doing a male health issue for once. Took an ITV/Global celebrity to be impacted before you did it though.”
A fifth declared: “To be fair, the segment on testicular cancer and showing how to check was actually really good. Credit where it’s due.”
