Jordan, 76, revealed he went through some “dark days” as the the cancer spread to different parts of his body.
He told people to go out and get tested and spoke about the importance of looking after one’s body.
In an appearance on David Coulthard’s Formula For Success podcast, Jordan said: “We’ve kind of alluded to it David, over the shows. Way back in March and April, I was diagnosed with bladder and prostate cancer.
“And then it spread into the spine and the pelvis, so it was quite aggressive. And we’ve all heard about our wonderful friend Sir Chris Hoy, who is an absolute megastar, and he [was] coming out and talking about illness such as like what I’ve got, but he’s a far younger man.
“But this is a little message for all the anchors and everybody listening to this: don’t wait or put it off.
“Go and get tested, because in life you’ve got chances and there is so much medical advice out there and so many things that you can do to extend your lifetime. Go and do it.
“Don’t be stupid, don’t be shy. It’s not a shy thing – look after your body, guys.”
