THE CREATOR OF shows such as Father Ted and The IT crowd Graham Linehan has revealed that he’s being treated for testicular cancer.
The comedy writer tweeted that he’d had an operation to remove the cancer and that he will be undergoing chemotherapy.
I got a bit of bad news recently. A little touch of the old cancer. Luckily, ball cancer is one of the best ones to have (sorry, ladies!) and they got rid of it all pretty quickly, along with a ball. Bye, ball! I'll never forget the good times!

Next up is a course of chemo to make sure it doesn't come back. Not looking forward to that, obviously, but it's better than dying.

Apologies to everyone who bought tickets to my Australian event. I'm hoping to make it back next year.

He also thanked everyone for their well wishes and said he was hoping to be able to continue being ‘a happy-go-lucky, beloved twitter personality’.
Ugh, God, people are so nice. You forget sometimes. Thanks, everyone.
