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."
