Kym’s father can’t be offered chemotherapy

While making her comeback to the show, fellow host Gethin Jones told Kym: “It’s been a minute since we’ve seen you.”

To which she replied: “I know, it’s been a little while hasn’t it?”

“I know you’ve been spending quite a lot of time with your dad recently,” Gethin said. “We know Dave really well on Morning Live and the reason you’ve been spending time with him is because you’ve had some bad news, haven’t you?”

Kym told viewers that her dad found out the cancer had spread further up his spine after doing more scans.

She explained: “His latest scan results have shown, unfortunately, that there are more cancer deposits further up his spine now. They are doing further scans to see if it’s gone into any more of his bones but unfortunately they can’t offer him chemotherapy.”

Kym was advised to spend as much time with her dad and create as many memories as possible. “We went out on Halloween to a lights trail and he’s just been enjoying spending time with his family,” she added.
