Rising levels of obesity and unhealthy weights could be linked to 670,000 extra cases of cancer in the next 20 years, a UK report predicts.

If current trends continue, experts say, almost three in four adults could be overweight or obese by 2035, bringing a host of health issues.

The Cancer Research UK and UK Health Forum report calls for a 21:00 cut-off time for TV adverts for unhealthy food.

Health officials say they are committed to tackling childhood obesity.
