Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has expressed his support for Sir Chris Hoy, who revealed in an interview with the Sunday Times yesterday (October 19) that the cancer he had been receiving treatment for had been diagnosed as terminal.
Hoy, a six-time Olympic gold medallist, first announced that he had cancer back in February of this year. He did not at the time share which type he'd been diagnosed with.
