BBC Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kay has shared his health concerns as he reflects on turning 52. The broadcaster, who celebrated his birthday on April 28, spoke candidly about his ailments during a recent broadcast.
On Gary Davies' show, Kay revealed a debate about a mini-mix of songs compiled for him, joking that it could focus on his health issues. 'There was a debate this morning... that it would be all about pretty much me and my ailments, my bad knees, my bad back, losing my memory, that kind of stuff,' he said.
Kay also shared some positive news, noting that the pain in his back had reduced significantly. 'I woke up this morning and the pain in my back was at least 60 percent less than it was yesterday,' he told Davies.
The presenter was also touched by listeners who greeted him on his train journey to work. He described the experience as a reminder of Radio 2's large and diverse audience.
This is not the first time Kay has discussed his health on air. Previously, he opened up about living with Morton's neuroma, a nerve condition affecting the foot. He recounted how a chance encounter with a foot specialist at an electric car charging station led to a diagnosis after the specialist examined his foot on the spot.
