Adrian Chiles, a well-known BBC personality, has recently been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer. The growth was detected on his shoulder and surgically removed. This diagnosis adds to a series of health challenges the 58-year-old has publicly shared over recent years.
In 2019, Chiles was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), a condition that significantly impacted his focus and energy levels, leading him to manage it with medication and therapy. He has also been candid about his past struggles with alcohol, having previously consumed up to 100 units weekly, which resulted in doctors identifying signs of liver damage.
Chiles now takes a regimen of nine daily pills for various conditions including acid reflux, hypertension, and anxiety. A fall resulting in cracked ribs prompted him to adopt a pill organizer, acknowledging a turning point in managing his health. He has successfully moderated his drinking, now consuming significantly less alcohol and finding greater enjoyment.
