Alan Davies Says He Is 'All Clear' After 2024 Bladder Cancer

He uses a prime-time chat show to urge early checks for blood in urine.

Overview

  • His update comes in a Jonathan Ross Show interview, which airs Saturday at 10pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
  • Davies says he noticed blood in the toilet in 2024, sought help, and learned he had bladder cancer.
  • He explains that surgeons removed the tumour via a flexible cystoscopy, which he calls uncomfortable but manageable, and says he is now all clear.
  • Back on the road, his Think Ahead tour is his first in a decade and is playing across the UK, Ireland and New Zealand.
  • He says this new show is the first time he confronts his mother’s death and abuse by his father, and he has also written the memoir White Male Stand‑Up for his three children.
