The former Europe and North America editor shared the news on the podcast Beeb Watch, telling ex-colleague Roger Bolton he was "fine and dandy" but his voice was "rather strange and weak".

"I'm getting used to being the quietest person in the room rather than the loudest," the 65-year-old joked.

Presenter Jeremy Paxman disclosed he had Parkinson's last year.

The University Challenge presenter's diagnosis came just two years after former BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones revealed he had Parkinson's disease, after a neurologist noticed his symptoms during a live broadcast and contacted the BBC.

Broadcaster Mardell, who also hosted The World This Weekend on BBC Radio 4, told Bolton he first noticed the symptoms after struggling to open supermarket packaging earlier in the year.

"I started thinking at the beginning of the year, Waitrose are making their packaging really hard to get into these days - what's this about?"

"And then I found my arms suddenly lifting above my head for no particular reason, or at least staying there."

Mardell. who left the BBC in 2020 after 30 years at the corporation, was advised by a friend who is also a physiotherapist to see a doctor in May.
