“At the minute I’m going through treatment for cancer and it’s like another chapter,” he said.

“I went to the doctors complaining of certain bits and bobs and the next thing I know I got a phone and told it’s a tumour and I’m going to have chemotherapy.”

He continued: “Fortunately, the chemo is working but it’s the effect chemotherapy has on you. Every day is a school day.”

The Hairy Bikers star continued, saying: “My eyes are sore because my eyelashes have fallen out – it’s crap like that that’s really irritating.”

“But I’m getting there. I’ve got to go in tomorrow for another lot. I’m just getting through it,” he said.

He then continued, saying he’ll never “whinge again” about “anything”.

“‘I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. But when I get through this, I’ll never whinge again about anything. I’m going to embrace life and everything it’s got to offer,” he said.

“‘I can’t eat garlic at the minute, smells are really acute, it’s all gone belly up. I’m told it will come back.”

He then went on to say that he now has a craving for Vimto and Cottage Pie.
