The man who wore the Darth Vader costume for the Star Wars movies David Prowse has revealed he is suffering from prostate cancer but is still feeling "fantastic."

"I'm involved with the Royal Marsden Hospital appeal because I'm undergoing treatment for prostate cancer, would you believe," he told Absolute Radio. "I'm having my very last treatment this morning."

"I've had two months' radiotherapy treatment at the Royal Marsden. It's the most fantastic hospital you could ever wish to go to."

Prowse is 73.
