Neil, 68, says he and his older brother have both suffered with polyps - harmless growths in the throat which can sometimes can develop into cancer.

Sean's father died from throat cancer aged 69, which is why doctors are particularly keen to keep a close eye on the brothers.

While filming in Africa in 1993, Sean was rushed home when he lost his voice due to throat problems, and later received radiotherapy treatment.

The actor had a tumour, believed to be benign, removed from his kidney last year.
