He told Bbc Breakfast he was diagnosed about two months ago and considered himself to be " extremely lucky".
He explained: " I'm a total convert to getting yourself checked early and getting The Diagnosis done early and getting remedial measures in place as soon as possible.
" I'm Living Proof of that and very grateful to be operated on on Saturday. "
Rider said he got tested after one of his friends was diagnosed with the cancer following a medical check.
The presenter said that after his first check-up, where his reading " was a little bit high" his wife urged him to get further examinations.
