Jeremy was joined on Monday’s show by his TalkTV colleague Ian Collins and panellists, Esther Krakue and actress Nicola Thorp.

Ulrika Jonsson filled in at the studio as co-host for Sharon Osbourne joined by video, while she battled Covid after catching it from husband Ozzy Osbourne.

The panel discussed whether men should freeze their sperm and for what reasons they may have for doing so.

Ian spoke about one of his friends who was advised to freeze his sperm before undergoing intensive treatment for cancer.

A surprised Jeremy who battled testicular cancer said “since I had cancer and chemotherapy, I’ve had three, four kids.”

His panellist then enquired why Jeremy didn’t consider freezing his sperm.

“Mate, with the greatest respect when they said ‘we’re going to take your testicle off, and you’re going to have chemotherapy’, the last thing I was thinking of I was looking for a freezer,” he exclaimed.

“It’s like a car crash down there, I never wanted to look down there again. Absolutely not.”

Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men, and survival rates are now at 95 per cent.

Jeremy was first diagnosed in 2012 after feeling ‘something was not quite right.’

“It was late 2012 and I’d just come back from a trip to America when I first knew there was something not quite right,” he wrote in The Sun.

“It wasn’t a lump, it wasn’t even really a pain, it was just a feeling, a sensation, and it was on my mind for a couple of weeks, maybe a few months. I put it to the back of my mind and got on with my life.”

He then described the moment the doctors told him he had cancer.

“It was the most awful, awful moment. It’s the word nobody ever wants to hear. And it terrifies anyone, naturally,” he wrote.

“But what I didn’t realise straight away was how incredibly lucky I was to be having that conversation there and then — having finally gone along when I did.

“I was raced away for a biopsy, they did a full-body scan and within 12 hours I was in surgery.

“When they took the testicle out it was 90 per cent toxic.”
