BBC DJ and presenter Trevor Nelson has revealed he stepped away from work after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Nelson was last on air in June and had announced he was “taking a little break from my work commitments” due to “health issues”.

Speaking to his Instagram followers, external, the 62-year-old said that his “world was turned upside down” when a brain tumour was discovered.

He said that he had undergone a “very serious surgery” which “went incredibly well”.

Speaking on Instagram on Thursday, Nelson explained: “There’s been a lot of speculation as to what’s wrong with me, I know that much. My phone’s blown up 20 times over with people asking what’s wrong with me.

“I felt that I should at least tell you what was wrong with me. I’m not going to go into it all now and I will deep dive into it at a later date so you can hear the full story.”

He continued: “I’ll tell you this, I was minding my own business and then it was discovered I had a brain tumour.

“I was shocked, my world was turned upside down, it was a shock to myself and close family and friends and you can imagine quite literally my head was all over the place.”
