Grange Hill legend Lee MacDonald, 56, who played Zammo, reveals he has been diagnosed with skin cancer after noticing an 'unusual spot' on his face
The actor, 56, announced on X, formerly Twitter , on Wednesday he went to the doctors over concerns about an 'unusual' spot on his face, only to be told it is cancerous.
Lee's Grange Hill character Samuel Maguire was fondly known as cheeky chappy Zammo, who attended the fictional north London school between 1982 and 1987. The actor featured in the show's most famous - albeit controversial - storyline when Zammo spiralled into an addiction to heroin, which climaxed in an overdose scene. Viewers know Lee best as teenage alter-ego Zammo, whose hard-hitting storylines broke TV boundaries in the mid 1980s on Grange Hill (pictured rught with Tim Polley and Melissa Wilks)
