James Whale recorded his final ever podcast from a hospice with his wife, as he thanked fans for listening.

The 74-year-old, who was diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer in 2020, said farewell to fans in a clip shared on TalkTV on Friday (1 August).

Speaking with his wife Nadine Lamont-Brown, Mr Whale said: “We’ve had a good time together haven’t we?” to which she replied “the best”.

Mr Whale, who has been a fixture of British radio and TV for five decades, announced in May that he had stopped his treatment and was “at the end of his cancer journey”.

TalkTV said: "As a broadcasting legend for over 50 years, James will be missed by so many at TALK and the wider News UK family."
