HOLBY City fans were left in tears this evening as Adrian Fletcher received a devastating cancer diagnosis. The character, played by Alex Walkinshaw, had various tests after suffering a number of concerning health issues - and was stunned when he was told that he is seriously ill.
Fletch had viewers sobbing as he broke down in an emotional chat with colleague Essie, who also has cancer, telling her: "I was kind of hoping it was diabetes to be honest, but it is ruled out. "Got the results today, and it's not great," as he started sobbing." It was also explained that his cancer was high-grade, and likely to have spread throughout his body.
