The 60-year-old  comedian has cancelled some of his tour dates on his current  Ha!Milton tour this summer while he undergoes surgery.

He announced the cancellations on Instagram, saying: ‘This difficult decision comes following a recent diagnosis of treatable prostate cancer. I'll be undergoing surgery soon and will need time afterwards to fully recover.

Abnormal service will resume as soon as possible and I'm looking forward to being back out on the road again soon - though probably not on a bike! Milton x'
