The One Show's Alex and Jermaine support King Charles amid cancer diagnosis

The One Show's Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas have shared their support to King Charles following his cancer diagnosis.

It was revealed earlier on Monday night that The King has been diagnosed with a form of cancer and has started a schedule of treatment, Buckingham Palace said. Starting Monday's The One Show, Alex and Jermaine said: "Now like everyone else, we're still taking in the news about His Majesty, The King, and his cancer diagnosis, which was announced a short while ago. We'd like to wish him all the best with his treatment."

It comes as Buckingham Palace's statement said: "During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.

"His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.
