F**k cancer!”Right on cue, fans rushed to support the couple in the comments below, urging them to enjoy their cocktails and much-needed downtime.‌“Love you two . God bless you both.

They are a little concerned because they think I should've started the radiotherapy before now."But of course because we moved house, it took a while for my medical records to come from England to Ireland et cetera but they've all arrived [now].“I've got to go back on Thursday morning to see some more doctors and medical people and then they will begin it soon. So it went okay, it went okay. So I will keep you updated."Article continues belowLike this story?
