Former First Lady Jill Biden has issued a major update on ex-President Joe Biden's health as he continues to be treated for cancer.

Speaking on The View, a chat show in the US, Ms Biden said it has been "hard" but maintained that her husband "remains active."

She said: "He's doing ok because, as I am sure everyone in this audience knows, I'm sure you've all been touched by cancer, it's hard.

"It's stage four, it's in his bones, but he's keeping up his schedule, he's going to DC on Amtrak a couple of times a month, he's speaking at Democratic rallies...he's active, he's Joe."
