"It is near my L5 lowest vertebra. I've spent a lot of the last 18 months in extreme pain. There have been times when even lying down makes it worse," he told The Sunday Telegraph. The newsreader, who returned to screens in April after a six-month break, had previously said of working with his condition: “I’ve spent a lot of the last 18 months in extreme pain. There have been times when even lying down makes it worse.
