Former Sky News presenter Dermot Murnaghan has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. 

The 67-year-old announced his diagnosis on social media, saying it was one of stage four "advanced" cancer. 

He said he was "fortunate to have a simply outstanding medical team" looking after him that was "administering the best possible care with expertise, compassion and sensitivity". 

"I'm responding positively to their excellent treatment, and feeling well," he added. 

"I'm blessed to be fortified by the monumental love and support of my wife, family and close friends. 

"Needless to say, my message to all men over 50, in high risk groups, or displaying symptoms, is get yourself tested and campaign for routine prostate screening by the NHS. 

"Early detection is crucial. And be aware, this disease can sometimes progress rapidly without obvious symptoms." 

Murnaghan also presented on BBC News and ITV News 

Murnaghan said he would be taking part in Sir Chris Hoy's charity bike ride in Glasgow in September, which aims to "shine a spotlight" on stage four cancer.
