Chris, 57, revealed he had a malignant growth on his leg – admitting he failed to spot it.

Now the former Top Gear host has shared an update with fans, revealing the growth has been removed.

He took to Instagram to show how just a small scar remains in its place.

Chris told followers: “And that’s a W.R.A.P. Early cuzza to celebrate + 0.0 VERY cold beer.

“#getyourselfchecked/checkafriend Peace&Love people. HAPPY THURSDAY.”

Fans took to the comments section to share their relief, with one saying: “Peace and love Chris and a big phew to that being done.”

A second wrote: “Really pleased your feeling ok enjoy your 0.0 beer.”

“Done and dusted onwards my lovely radio best friend,” said a third.

While a fourth posted: “Excellent news! Enjoy your well deserved cuzza.”

Eight years ago Chris was given the all-clear following a prostate cancer scare.

But the fear of cancer remains at the forefront of the star’s mind, after losing his dad and two uncles died from colon cancer and his late mum battled breast cancer.

He told The Sun: “For years I was such a scaredy cat – but I’ve had things taken out of me before that had resulted in the deaths of my dad, his two brothers and my mum – cancer has had enough of us.

“I changed my thinking a while ago – when I went to the toilet and there was clearly something very wrong.

“And up until that moment I was fearful of any possible test you could have done.

“For some reason this happened and it was so patently obvious.

“I finished what I was doing and I went and phoned my GP straight away and it was like a revelation for me.”
