MONTY Python’s Eric Idle feels “more grateful” for life after surviving pancreatic cancer.

The 79-year-old comic and writer revealed in September he had received a rare early diagnosis and been successful­ly treated for the illness.

He has now teamed up with Stand Up to Cancer in a bid to increase awareness for cancer research and recently appeared on the US version of The Masked Singer as part of the campaign.

Appearing on the series launch of the Graham Norton Show, Idle said: “I am definitely more grateful.

“I am very fortunate and hopefully I can do a bit of good by raising money for research.”
