“I’m actually in my last couple of weeks. Last time I saw my oncologist, he said I probably have only got weeks to go,” James, 74, told viewers.

“Over the 50 years, I have interviewed and chatted to some of the most amazing people. It may have been you. Maybe we’ll catch up for the last time.”

Later, when a viewer named Paula called in, he confessed how emotional he has been about his prognosis.

He told her: “I spend a lot of time crying. And it really, it’s a bit embarrassing, Paula, to be quite honest with you.

“I’m heading into the sunset and I talk about it regularly on the show and you know it’s interesting because now everybody talks about it. Not me, not mine, but their own, you know, they don’t feel that they’re doing it quite right without having a cancer to talk about.”

Fans were quick to share their sadness on social media following James’s emotional news.
