Chris Evans revealed he’s been diagnosed with skin cancer on Monday morning, shortly after returning from a sun-drenched family trip to California.
The 56-year-old radio host jetted off to the sunny West Coast with his kids Noah, 14, Eli, 10, and twins Walt and Boo, both four, all of whom he shares with his golf pro wife Natasha Shishmanian.
Chris is also a doting dad to daughter Jade, 37, who he shares with former fiancée Alison Ward.
Taking to Instagram over the past few days, Chris uploaded a slew of fun photos of his family enjoying everything from trips to the beach to some good old-fashioned sightseeing.
The star’s last holiday post was uploaded a day before he confirmed his skin cancer diagnosis live on air.
On Monday, the dad-of-five told Virgin Radio listeners about his health issues but added that the cancer had been found in the early stages.

Chris also said he was hopeful for a full recovery with skin cancer being one of the more treatable forms of the illness.
Talking on his breakfast show, he explained: ‘I’ve just got to talk briefly about my biopsy for the skin cancer issue.
‘So, the best news that I got whilst I was away is that it was a positive test, so I have tested positive for skin cancer.

‘Obviously better news would have been [that it was] negative. But the reason it’s great news is because they’ve caught it as early as they can, as early as is possible.’
He also confirmed he had melanoma, adding: ‘There’s this phrase called a malignant melanoma – you know once you get something and you find out all about it – that is a redundant phrase because if it is a melanoma, it is malignant.’
‘But it’s been caught so early, just so you know, that it should be completely treatable.’
According to the broadcaster, that is set to happen ‘on the 14th of September’ with an operation to remove ‘a small square of skin’.
