Hammers striker Carlton Cole has posed nude for Cosmopolitan magazine to raise awareness of male cancer for the Everyman campaign.

Cole features in Cosmopolitan’s annual Naked Centrefold special, on sale from today, to raise awareness for the campaign which advises men how to check for tell-tale signs and how to treat them in a bid to reduce the UK's rising cancer rates amongst males.

Bobby Moore famously received treatment for testicular cancer back in the 1960s, whilst the disease effects up to around 2,000 men in the UK each year. Men aged between 25 and 44 make up the greater number of those incidences, with most being treated successfully where the disease is caught early.

Cole is just one of a number of celebrities posing nude to raise awareness for the campaign and June's Male Cancer Awareness month. Others include England rugby star Will Skinner, actor Jamie Bamber and TV presenter Tony Craig.

The Everyman Campaign's website can be found here. Details on how to check for testicular cancer can be found here.
