Mark Webster, the former darts world champion and Sky Sports pundit, is diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. Multiple outlets report the condition is hairy cell leukaemia. Webster reveals he began treatment in February after discovering the cancer earlier in the year. During his treatment, he is taken off air and does not work as he recovers.
Sky Sports says Webster’s condition has improved and he is set to resume his Sky Sports duties for Premier League Darts coverage on Thursday. The BBC reports Webster is having chemotherapy for hairy cell leukaemia and hopes to return to work. Other reports add that his recovery has not gone entirely as planned, but that he is now cleared to return to television work.
The reports agree on the diagnosis, the chemotherapy timeline starting in February, and the upcoming return to Premier League Darts coverage, while differing slightly in emphasis on how smoothly recovery has progressed.
