BBC Gardeners' World fans in tears as star shares tragic cancer news

Viewers who watched the latest instalment of Gardeners' World were moved to tears after witnessing Steve's heartbreaking journey. Steve, a professional inventor who lives with his wife Pippa, opened up about his health issues while appearing on the show.

During the episode, Steve revealed to viewers that he'd recently received a terminal cancer diagnosis, admitting he's uncertain about how long he has left to live.

He explained it could be "two months or two years, possibly." Nevertheless, his optimistic outlook has endured, and he viewed his cancer as a "new challenge". It comes after the best and worst GP surgeries across the UK were named.
