Former Formula 1 team owner Eddie Jordan revealed he has been undergoing treatment for bladder and prostate cancer, which had spread to his spine and pelvis earlier this year.

He explained that while there had been some “very dark days” during his treatment, he had “pulled out of it” on the other side.

Jordan had alluded to a potential health scare in an October episode of the Formula For Success podcast, not saying outright that he had been diagnosed with cancer but urging people to go and get proper screening for its different forms. He added at the time that the good news was that “the prognosis is absolutely fantastic” regarding his own situation.

Now the season has drawn to a close, however, he has now spoken publicly about his diagnosis – which he acknowledged was “quite aggressive”.

Jordan referred to legendary Olympic cyclist turned professional racing driver Sir Chris Hoy, who recently revealed a terminal prostate cancer diagnosis having displayed little to no outward symptoms, and offered words of advice for anyone who may be unsure about going to get screening.

While not dwelling too much on his experience, he did add that he has “pulled out of it, thankfully.”

Speaking on the latest episode of Formula For Success alongside co-host David Coulthard, 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’s an absolute megastar, and coming out and talking about illnesses such like what I’ve gotten, but he’s a far younger man.

“But this is a little message, and everybody listen to this: Don’t waste 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.

“We’ll move on, but yes, some very dark days in there – but we pulled out of it, thankfully.”
