Hughton then moved into management, where he guided both Newcastle and Brighton to promotion to the Premier League.
He also had spells in charge of Birmingham, Norwich and Nottingham Forest, and was most recently manager of Ghana.
“I had very good advice and all the treatment options were given to me, and I decided to have my prostate removed. The recovery has gone really well,” he added.
“I’m one year post-operation and I feel good. It’s all gone very well. I’ve got a lot of energy.”
Prostate Cancer UK chief executive Laura Kerby said: “Chris’ story is ultimately a positive one. But it’s also a timely reminder of the dangers of prostate cancer and we thank him for sharing his story in the football community, and helping men.
“Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK, and it’s still the only major cancer without a screening programme. It doesn’t give you signs or symptoms in its earlier stages when it’s more treatable, so awareness is everything.”

Posting a sweet pic alongside her cat Pickles on Instagram, Jane wrote: “Little update. So, my 2nd surgery went well.
“They got the clear margin they need on the original excision, which is great.
“They did hit a new little patch of precancerous cells on the other side of the new bit they took out but, thankfully, everyone agrees more surgery would be overkill.
“A huge % of pre cancer doesn’t develop into cancer.
“I saw the oncologist today & we’ve agreed the risks of radiation outweigh the benefits in my case.
“Which leaves Tamoxifen (or similar) or wait and see (my preferred option).
“I’m very nervous about going the drug route, because I know the side effects can be hideous, but I’m taking all the info on board & luckily there’s no pressure to make a quick decision.
“So, all good & I’m just looking forward to getting back to normal.”
Jane’s followers flocked to support her, including author Jojo Moyes who wrote: “Well done for getting through another surgery.
“Wishing you some reassuring news very soon x”
A fan added: “Happy to hear the update and it sounds very positive … yes take your time to decide , & so all the research … as of course you will x”
Another said: “That’s such uplifting news , so pleased your doing well. onwards and upwards x And cats will always upstage.”
This comes just days after Jane slammed a fake obituary that was published online after she was revealed she had cancer.
She said: “I’ve taken the post about the obituary down, because I don’t want people to think I’m upset by it. I’m not. P***ed off yes.
Breast Cancer Screening
Most women will have been told to check their own breasts for signs of lumps and bumps, but after a certain age you’ll be invited for a free NHS breast cancer screening.
You’ll automatically get your first invite for up to three years after you hit 50, as long as you’re registered to a GP surgery.
After that, you’ll be invited every three years until you turn 71.
If you’re a trans man, trans woman or are non-binary, you may be invited automatically, or you may need to talk to your GP surgery or call the local breast screening service to ask for an appointment.
If you have not been invited for breast screening by the time you are 53 and think you should have been, contact your local breast screening service.
But if you’re experiencing symptoms of breast cancer before you reach screening age, don’t wait to be invited – see a GP.
Do this even if you’ve recently had a breast screening.
“But more, I just want people to know that any photos you see of me in hospital, looking sad or with tubes sticking out of me are 100% fake – AI generated.”
Following her recent procedure, Jane told her followers she was feeling “remarkably fine” and in good spirits.
She assured people she wold update them once she had the medical all clear.
“Then 8-10 days wait for confirmation that they’ve got it all & the margins are clear (small % chance of more surgery if not),” Jane wrote.
She has been resting up at home with the support of cat Pickles.

Jess Warner Judd does not remember much about that night in Rome.
It has been a long and difficult journey since, but the 31-year-old speaks with admirable ease about the traumatic events which have led her to a London Marathon debut in 2026.
“I’m very lucky to have had sort of a second chance at running. It’s a second chance I just didn’t think I’d probably have,” Warner Judd tells BBC Sport.
“I remember having really horrible discussions after trying to restart my track season and it quickly not happening. The doctors, who were brilliant, saying that I would probably have to retire if I kept trying before I had therapy, because my body wasn’t going to cope.”
The distressing details of what unfolded at Stadio Olimpico are recalled vividly by her husband Rob, who witnessed it all from the stands alongside Warner Judd’s father and coach, Mike, in June 2024.
Less than 10 months had passed since Warner Judd celebrated one of her proudest achievements, placing eighth in the world over 10,000m, but it became evident early in the European Championship final that something was amiss.
The noticeable lack of co-ordination. The veering out into lanes two and three. The distress increasingly visible across her face.
“It got to the point around five or six kilometres in when Mike and I had got as close as we could to the track and were shouting at her to stop,” says Rob.
Warner Judd struggled on until, with 600m to go, she collapsed.

Now, Jane has revealed the positive news that the surgeons have “basically got it all”.
She said in a clip shared to her X account: “The surgeon said I can lift some weights so I’m starting with this one,” as she picked up her cat.
“Just a little update, all is good, yesterday I had my follow up and they have basically got it all.”
Jane explained that she will be having another procedure to ensure that they have removed “everything”.
“What they haven’t got is a clear margin around the edge of what they have taken so I am going to have to have another op,” she continued.
“It will be just to make sure they get everything, which is a bit of a pain, but it isn’t a worry they just need to make sure they have a clear margin, so will be the exact same operation as last time.”
Opening up about her second operation, Jane said she is feeling more confident especially as the recovery has been better than she expected.
She shared: “But I do know now that the recovery is so much easier than I thought it was going to be, this is me 10 days later.
“It’s a pain but not a worry at all [having a second op].
“So it’s good and hopefully next week I will hear after Easter to get it out of the way and then will have to wait for that to be tested and see where we are.
“Meanwhile I’m going to try and get a few workouts in and carry my cat around.”
Jane admitted she was “lucky” she was diagnosed “so early” and that is it important for women to get screened.
She wrote in her caption: “(Mostly) good update: Things I forgot to say in the video: I’m still getting fabulous treatment.
“And I know how lucky I am to have had my diagnosis so early – from a routine mammogram with absolutely no symptoms.

“I’ve had so many conversations with lovely people who’ve come up to me in the street in the last couple of weeks & told me their own personal experiences, and it’s totally rammed home both how different it is for everyone and also how important screening and early diagnosis really is.
“Oh, and as Tamoxifen is one of the options being debated for me I wanted to ask if anyone has experience and how the side effects were.
Revealing her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this month, Jane assured fans not to “panic” and said her prognosis was “excellent”.
She said on Instagram: “About a month ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer – very early stage thankfully & the prognosis is excellent.
“I had a routine mammogram a week before Christmas. I had no symptoms but the brilliant radiographer spotted something iffy & sent me for further tests & eventually a biopsy.
“Since then I’ve had more mammograms, more biopsies and an MRI so they can pinpoint the problem area precisely. It’s been a lot, I’m not going to lie.”
The star added that she has been under “incredible” care.

Now, Jane has confirmed that her operation is over and assured fans she is feeling in high spirits after the procedure.
Sharing some snaps of herself from hospital, Jane wrote to X: “So… I had my op today.
“I’m feeling remarkably fine, which is possibly the drugs & that might also explain why I’m cross eyed in pic 4).
“I had quite a lovely couple of hours drinking tea & reading the brilliant @CatSteadman ‘s new one (more on that later).”

The French Canadian singer may be making her return to concert performances this fall, according to Variety. In 2022, Dion canceled her North American tour due to muscle spasms and later revealed that her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome, an autoimmune neurological disorder, would prevent her from performing.
Montreal newspaper La Presse reported that fans were speculating Dion would return to the stage, after Parisians spotted posters referencing titles of Dion’s songs like “Power of Love” and “Pour Que tu M’aimes Encore” throughout the city. La Presse also reported that Dion will likely perform two concerts a week throughout September and October at the Paris La Défense Arena, a venue that seats 40,000 spectators.
Dion has not headlined her own show since her Courage World Tour in 2020, which was postponed and then canceled due to her health issues. She sang an emotional cover of Édith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’amour” during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympics. Last November, she performed her songs “I’m Alive” and “The Power of Love” during the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab fashion show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The singer publicized her battle with SPS in her 2024 documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion.” In the film, Dion discussed how she’d been experiencing health issues for 17 years before her diagnosis. SPS affected Dion’s ability to sing by causing a strain on her vocal cords, making her voice sound more nasal.
“Sometimes I would point my microphone towards the audience and I would make them sing it. There’s moments where I cheated and I tapped on the microphone, like it was the microphone’s fault,” Dion explained in her documentary.
Even with her diagnosis, the singer made it clear in her documentary that she intended to continue pursuing her love of music.
“If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl, but I won’t stop.”
Dion’s representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment. La Défense Arena declined to comment.
