Sir Chris Hoy has revealed how he told his two children about his terminal cancer and the pain he went through to make it easier for them
Sir Chris Hoy has revealed the heartbreaking way he told his two children about his terminal cancer diagnosis.

"In the space of one sentence, just a collection of words, your whole world has fallen apart," he said. READ MORE - Most popular baby name trends for 2025 as traditional monikers are left behind
He said that he agreed with his wife Sarra that they would be honest and so spoke to their children over dinner one night - telling them that Chris had cancer and would be undergoing treatment. When he began chemotherapy treatment, Chris said Callum asked repeatedly if he was going to lose his hair. So for the sake of the son - and to try and conceal his illness for as long as possible - Chris endured the agony of a cold cap, which he said "is like your head being in a vice", for six rounds of therapy over 18 weeks.
