Speaking candidly, I, Jim Howick, am sharing my experience with a recent health challenge as I step up to participate in Channel 4’s The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer.
The actor participating in BBC One’s Here We Go and Channel 4’s The Change stated that he can’t think of anyone untouched by cancer during their lifetime, which is why joining the charity event was an obvious choice for him.
Tomorrow evening, Howick is set to compete against model Ellie Goldstein, radio host Gloria Hunniford, comedian Jamali Maddix, and they’ll all face off in the Signature, Technical, and Showstopper challenges.
Apart from knowing people close to him who have battled cancer before, Howick also mentioned experiencing a personal scare of his own about two years back as an additional motivator for enrolling in the program.
Upon examination, they remarked, “We must remove it by the following week – its minuscule size allows for a possible biopsy, but given my familiarity with this type of growth, I suggest extraction would be more prudent.
Howick added, “Fortunately, the skin cancer was caught at an extremely early stage.” He went on to explain that it had been quite terrifying.
To be completely honest, I was utterly taken aback by the news, given that I’ve always been mindful about my sun exposure. However, this incident has made me even more vigilant, ensuring I take extra precautions on sunny days and when vacationing in warmer climates.
Every morning, I take my dogs out for a stroll, and these days, when it’s sunny, I make sure to use at least SPF 50 sunscreen to avoid getting too tan, just like Morticia Addams might stay. He made a joke about this.
Howick stated: “I was thrilled to participate. As a devoted viewer of this series, it seemed like an opportunity I simply couldn’t refuse.
Over the course of its existence, Stand Up to Cancer has amassed a total of around £113 million, using these funds to sponsor 73 clinical trials and research initiatives. These efforts have directly impacted over 130,000 patients by being part of them so far.
On Sunday evening, you’ll learn about the performance of Howick and his fellow stars, Goldstein, Hunniford, and Maddix in the final episode of The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer.
