Richard Hammond has shared an update on his pal Chris Evans, after it was revealed the latter was diagnosed with cancer.
The former Top Gear host revealed on Good Morning Britain this morning that radio DJ Chris is "always busy" and is "doing good" following his diagnosis earlier this week.
On Monday, Chris shared to his social media fans that he had been diagnosed with the disease.
It comes eight years after Chris was first given the all clear from the disease after a battle with prostate cancer.
But he added that his most recent diagnosis is as "treatable as cancer can possibly be" as it was also caught really early.
Richard, who is due to join up with pal Chris at Car Fest this weekend, told GMB's Adil Ray and Charlotte Hawkins: "He's good. He's fine. I saw him last night with a load of other people.
"It was found really early. But he's flat out bonkers, he's always busy."
After revealing to his fans that he had the disease, he shared that he would be hosting his radio show live from Car Fest over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Chris was diagnosed with the disease after his masseuse spotted a freckle on his body and urged him to get the growth checked out by a doctor.
In response, the radio host said his masseuse was an "angel sent from heaven" for making Chris aware of it and helping the doctors spot this so early.
Chris is now set to undergo treatment next month for his stage zero skin cancer.
The presenter first had prostate cancer eight years ago but was given the all clear in 2015.
When discussing his most recent diagnosis on his radio show, Chris said: "I've just got to talk briefly about… you know my biopsy for the skin cancer issue. So, the best news that I got whilst I was away, was that it was a positive test. So I have tested positive for skin cancer.
"Obviously better news would have been that it would have been negative. But the reason it's great news is that they've caught it as early as possible.
"This has only happened because Dee, this angel sent from heaven, who gives me this massage every Friday, saw this freckle on my shin and said, "do me a favour Chris, go and get that checked out."
He said initially he did not get it checked but the following week when she suggested it again, he decided to get it tested which has led to the diagnosis.
