Taking to Instagram on Tuesday evening, Chris, 25, admitted brother Ben had been given the news only hours earlier.
Sharing a shot of the pair as children, he wrote: 'A sad day. My brother was diagnosed with testicular cancer this lunchtime, in which we pray for a kind prognosis.'
Devastated: Chris Hughes has revealed his brother has been diagnosed with testicular cancer - just weeks after the Love Island star was examined for the condition on live television
The TV personality - one of five brothers - revealed Ben had originally discovered an unusual lump in his testicles the day after Chris had urged viewers to be examined for the disease during an appearance on This Morning in November.
He explained: 'He came into my room at 3am the morning after my testicular examination on tv, clearly struggling to sleep, telling me he’d found a lump and asked me if he’s checking it right.
'To which I told him, "Ben, it’s 3am, I’ll look in the morning, but if there’s a lump, go and check it checked tomorrow with the doctor".

'Today he sent me a message telling me the news, and thanking me for making him aware, else he’d never have known he had cancer.. That literally broke my heart.'
He added: 'Testicular cancer is a silent killer, men need realise this and check themselves regularly. It takes 10 seconds. Please do it.'
Appearing on This Morning with Dr. Chris Steele in 2019, Chris was keen to raise awareness of testicular cancer and lowered his underwear so Steele, 76, could illustrate how an examination takes place.

Opening up: The reality star revealed a long scar on his own testicle as he spoke about his own shock health scare during his appearance on the show in November
The reality star revealed a long scar on his own testicle as he spoke about his own shock health scare, telling hosts Phillip Schofield, 56, and Rochelle Humes, 29, about what his male relatives went through.
He said: 'I was diagnosed with two separate conditions, I had operations but there was no long term damage.
'I was around 14 and I noticed like a build up of veins and eventually got it looked at [six years later, aged 20] and they referred to hospitals and I ended up having three operations on my left testical, and that was more down to safety with infertility, because the veins take oxygen.
'My sperm count was quite low, I have had a hydrocele. I have had four operations on them.'
Anxiety: Chris previously said that he waited until he was 20 to see a doctor because he felt embarrassed, but he has since realised he needn't have been
Chris previously said that he waited until he was 20 to see a doctor because he felt embarrassed, but he has since realised he needn't have been.
He continued: 'It surrounded my left side and I had keyhole [surgery] in my hip region but that didn’t work and I have a big scar across my pubic region where they’ve cut in and coiled the veins off in that area to hopefully settle them down slightly.'
Explaining how he froze his sperm at the same time, Chris said, 'I did. My two brothers are completely infertile… although one brother does have a child now, it was a miracle child.
Worrying: Cancer Research UK figures show there are around 2,400 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer each year across the home nations
'But my other brother, Will, does not have a sperm in his body. My count was quite low but I did get some frozen.
'Altogether I’ve had four operations [on my testicles]. And my cousin had testicular cancer. It was secondary because he only discovered [he had a problem] after suffering with awful stomach cramps…'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
