‘But I didn’t get that support from A Place In The Sun,’ he continued. ‘I told them I wanted to work. When I said I can get you doctor notes and assurances from my oncologist that I am fit to work, I was told, verbatim, “Oh, you really don’t want to go down that route, do you?” He claimed he’s been ‘pushed to the side in favour of someone healthier’ and added: ‘That broke my heart’.
‘Within a week of flying back from filming, I was being given six months to live,’ he said when he first told Hello! about his diagnosis.
