“But cancer doesn’t have to be the really scary word that it used to be. Thanks to research, there’s real hope and there are great prospects for the future. It’s something that we can absolutely conquer by raising money and supporting Stand Up To Cancer’s scientists.”

Channel 4 News host Guru-Murthy said: “I had a little trepidation about dressing up as Jimi Hendrix in case I didn’t do him justice. When I told my 11-year-old what I was doing he looked at me and said, ‘You’re just so embarrassing’. But it’s for a great cause!”
