Sir Chris Hoy's wife kept her MS diagnosis secret from him after he found out he was dying of cancer


Sir Chris Hoy 's wife has told how she kept her multiple sclerosis diagnosis a secret from her husband.

Lady Sarra Hoy had ‘never in a million years’ expected a diagnosis of the incurable neurological condition when she began suffering a tingling sensation in her face last summer. She had thought her symptoms were caused by a dental infection and in an interview alongside Sir Chris, 48, for ITV’s This Morning, she said she had not been concerned when she went to get the results of an MRI scan. Not everybody is as lucky as myself, some people don’t have as much time, but for now I’m fit and healthy and I’m going to crack on and raise hopefully a huge amount of money and change perception of stage four cancer as actually there’s a lot of life still to live.’
