‘Please forgive me’ – F1 legend Eddie Jordan apologises live on radio and says ‘I’m not myself’ after cancer treatment
FORMULA One legend Eddie Jordan touchingly apologised on live radio after revealing he's "not himself" following a dose of cancer treatment.
Jordan revealed that he is battling an "aggressive" form of prostate and bladder cancer, which spread to his spine and pelvis, late last year.
But it was the 76-year-old's emotional plea and update on his diagnosis that moved listeners.
Towards the end of the segment, Jordan said: "Sorry guys, just a small thing, thank you.
"I've just come out of getting chemotherapy and I'm not 100 per cent together here guys.

"I'm just not myself at this moment in time. I'm a little all over the place, so please forgive me."
His heartbreaking appeal clearly touched presenter Alan Brazil, who urged him "not to worry" and offered him support.
Brazil, 65, said: "I wasn't going to bring it up. But listen, if we can get this out to people, it's encouraging. Well done you."
A shaken Jordan replied: "I just had a big deal of it yesterday, so I'm sorry, I'm not quite myself."
Brazil replied: "Take care Eddie, don't you worry, you were fine. Get your health better and come back to us with more positive news about London Irish."
Fellow talkSPORT host Gabby Agbonlahor added: "Eddie Jordan, top man."
It comes just over a year after the Premiership club was suspended from all rugby activities in June 2023 for failing to pay its players.
