Nick Owen was supported by his wife Vicki Beevers today just hours after he made an appearance on BBC One Midlands to announce his prostate cancer diagnosis.
The BBC presenter was all smiles in a blue blazer paired with blue jeans, while his spouse appeared casual in a graphic print blouse, jeans and suede loafers.
The news comes just weeks after his co-presenter Anne Diamond, 68, revealed she is battling breast cancer and has undergone a mastectomy.
Along with their stint on TV-am, the pair had their own current affairs morning programme on the BBC in the 1990s, Good Morning With Anne And Nick.
He told the news programme: «I went to a specialist, he wasn’t too worried because my figures weren’t that high.
«But he decided I ought to have a scan, and then the scan said there’s something dodgy going on, and then he sent me for a biopsy, which he did.
«And the results of that were the killer – on April the 13th, a date (which) will forever be imprinted on my mind.
«He told us that it was extensive, really, and aggressive, and I had prostate cancer full-on, and something needed to be done pretty fast.
«And that was probably the worst day of my life, or certainly one of them.»
He added: «It was a very grim moment… driving home after that sort of news and ringing people, texting people, my phone went crazy for hours on end.»
Nick, 75, added that it had been «very difficult» for Vicki who had been by his «side all the time through this».
The former Luton Town chairman said: «She had to do a lot of things medically when I came home, to look after me, including having to give me an injection once a day for about a month – and she’s got no experience of that.
«I’ve certainly got no experience of doing [it] myself or having it done by a non-medical professional.»
The couple of 11 years married in 2020 in a quiet ceremony at St Mary the Virgin Church, in Enville.
Nick told the Express and Star at the time: «We’re both thrilled to bits.
«It was a very quiet day and we didn’t go to the church until a quarter to three and it was all over by half past.»
He added: «We’d been planning to get married a year ago, but twice for various reasons, including coronavirus, we’ve had to put it off.»
