π₯πͺ Johnny Ball shares his cancer journey and the simple daily routine that keeps him going strong!


TV legend Johnny Ball, best known for Play School and Think Of A Number, has opened up about his battle with prostate cancer. Diagnosed in August 2022, Johnny underwent three months of daily radiation and is now on the mend.

Reflecting on his journey, Johnny shared, βMy friend Harry Secombe didn’t survive it, Bob Monkhouse didn’t survive it. I’m 20 years younger than them and I am lucky. Today, we can cure it!β
Johnny’s secret to staying healthy? A short but effective exercise routine! Every day, he dedicates six to seven minutes to bending, stretching, and lifting light weights. ποΈ And let’s not forget his breakfast staple β cereal with prunes!
While Johnny’s evenings include a chilled beer or two, he warns about having more than that: “Dianne, my wife, can always tell if I’ve had even half a pint more β I start arguing with the TV!” πΊπ
Johnnyβs spirit and positivity are truly inspiring. Send him your love and let’s all take a leaf out of his book by focusing on the wonderful moments in life! πͺβ€οΈ
