‘A lot to take in’
After meeting his consultant at Manchester’s The Christie Hospital, Paul declared: “It’s a lot to take in.”
He then shared his treatment plan and shared his prognosis.
“I’ll go for a two-hour procedure and they will inject radium into my prostate,” he said.

He then told Lorraine viewers: “Hopefully at the end of that period I’ll be all clear.”
