ITV's Tonight marks return of Russell Watson | Print |  Email to a friend
Tuesday, 24 November 2009

ITV’s Tonight is returning to Cheshire to profile Russell Watson as the singer recovers from cancer treatment.

ITVs Tonight marks return of Russell Watson
Sir Trevor MacDonald and his team first interviewed Watson 18 months ago, weeks after he underwent a course radiotherapy for a pituitary tumour.

“I’ve had two tumours, one them literally nearly killed me. I was minutes away from not being here and I’d almost given up. To think back to that point in my life, it’s a very strange feeling because it almost seems like it was a bad dream,” Watson tells the programme.

The Granada-based team follows him as he signs a new record deal and comes to terms with how the illness has changed him.

Researchers also speak to other people who are recovering from pituitary cancer and Watson’s own specialist Dr Tara Kearney, who reveals that he needs to take regular medication to stop the risk of a heart attack in stressful situations.

Russell Watson - Return of the Voice
will be broadcast on December 4th on ITV1.

This article is incorrect, misleading and frankly dangerous. Russell Watson's pituitary tumour had nothing whatsoever to do with cancer. I had the same and I cannot help but feel for people who have just been diagnosed with it, don't know much about it yet but are reading irresponsible articles like this which lead them to believe they have cancer. I would direct readers to the more accurate site of pituitary.org.uk

Be fair though, Frances, pituitary.org.uk's coverage of Cheetham Bell's new Gamestation ad was a little cursory...
