EXTRAORDINARY WILLPOWER: BBC Breakfast presenter breaks SAD NEWS as star Warwick Smith has ‘THREE MONTHS TO LIVE’

BBC Breakfast took a sad turn on Sunday after Roger Johnson announced someone he’d grown close to had been given three months to live.
During the programme, Roger and Rachel Burden took a moment to chat about BBC Breakfast guest Warwick Smith, who had been diagnosed with throat cancer.
Despite his initial prognosis of having six months to live, Warkick has now been given three months. And despite his heartbreaking diagnosis, Warwick isn’t letting his illness stop him from achieving his goal.
Rachel introduced the segment, “Back in 2022, Warwick Smith was told he had throat cancer and was given six months to live. Now, since then, he’s raised almost £70,000 for cancer charities.”

Roger continued, “Now, Warwick has been in touch with me quite a lot over the years. He sends me emails, and last month, he emailed me to say that the cancer had returned. It’s in his ribs, his spine, his right lung, his liver, and in his brain.
“This time, he’s been given three months to live. However, he wanted to do a 10k for Macmillan Cancer Support, which is pretty impressive.
“He couldn’t do it in one go. He’s just not healthy enough and just can’t manage it. However, he set out to complete it in three separate stints, and earlier this week, I was there as he finished his final lap of his local lake.”
During the clip, Warwick shared, “I don’t want to fester and fade away. I know I have got to keep moving, to keep active, to keep going.”
Roger said in the voiceover clip that showed Warwick out walking, “It’s some defiance from a man who’s been given weeks to live, but this 67-year-old is a fighter, day by day, one step at a time, he keeps defying the odds.”

He later said, “Warwick waited three months for the scan, which found his throat cancer. His brother had died from it.

“Now he’s helped to purchase handheld scanners, which will revolutionise diagnosis in the future. Last week he got to see them.”
Warwick heartbreakingly added, “I’ve had a good life, and I think I’m doing something good. I just wanted to leave something good behind.”
