| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Ben Fogle is undergoing chemotheraphy after the flesh-eating disease (leishmaniasis) he contracted while filming Extreme Dreams in Peru last year returned after taking part in a 500-mile trek to the South Pole.

Speaking to the Telegraph at the Royal Parks Half Marathon in Hyde Park, the 35-year-old travel presenter said:

"I am facing six weeks of chemotherapy and going to hospital for several hours a day to be put on drips to treat the condition,"

"I am really frustrated as I am normally so active."
