Tommy Walsh: Homes Under The Hammer star reveals lung cancer diagnosis - days after being axed from BBC show

Homes Under The Hammer star Tommy Walsh has revealed he was diagnosed with lung cancer - just days after being canned from the programme.

The 67-year-old found himself off the BBC show following a presenter shake-up. Then, just days later, he shared his diagnosis to a crowd at The Swallows Head & Neck Cancer conference.

Walsh joined Homes Under The Hammer in 2021 alongside original presenter Martin Roberts and retired footballer Dion Dublin.

In a video of his speech at the conference, he said: "I had a chest infection, had to go to the doctor and they sent me up to hospital for a CT scan and they think there's a three centimetre tumour in the lung. I was weighing up whether or not to tell you about this but I felt it would be unfair if I was to leave this and I didn't tell you.

"I just buried myself in my work and then went along for the day surgery where the lumps were removed under a general anaesthetic.

"It was only then that it sort of hit me that this could actually be serious and I could have breast cancer, like my relatives."

Despite losing his place on the BBC programme, Walsh added that he has a number of projects "lined up" with the BBC.
