‘Below Deck’ Star Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

Jason Chambers, who joined the reality show in 2022, announced his melanoma diagnosis Tuesday.

Below Deck Down Under star Jason Chambers, 52, has been diagnosed with melanoma, he revealed in a video Tuesday. “Look Australia, two out of three people suffer from melanoma. It’s a big thing,” he said. “I never used to wear sunscreen when I was on the boat. I used to put zinc on my nose, the reason being the chemicals.” Below Deck follows the lives of the crew on a superyacht. Chambers joined the spinoff show Below Deck Down Under when it premiered in 2022. The reality star said he’s currently waiting for more biopsy results from Bali, where he underwent additional testing under the advice of his doctors. “They weren’t happy with what the indications told them,” Chambers said. He added that now that there are more chemical-free sunscreen options, he’s sure to put it on. “So, make sure you throw on some sunscreen, get some shade and cover yourself up and enjoy your day out in the sun,” he advised.
