And his daughter, Emma, has now taken to social media to announce the 83-year-old has undergone a procedure.
Using the X account of the man himself, she gave a positive update to his 168,400 followers, seemingly at his request.
“Just to let everyone know my Father, Geoffrey, has successfully come out of surgery this evening after a three hour operation to remove his throat cancer,” she wrote. “Yet to see him but surgeon says it went well. He asked that I post an update.”
