Actor and comedian Bobby Davro has announced that his long-time partner Vicky Wright has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - the same illness that killed her father. The 64-year-old former EastEnders star said: “To see someone as beautiful as her with this illness is horrific. It’s so sad.
“It’s extremely, extremely, extremely painful,” Bobby continued, telling the Daily Star that he had been coping by carrying on working. “Thank goodness I’ve got my work, because it keeps my mind off this for a bit of time.”
Bobby described how Vicky learned that she had been diagnosed with the illness last year. Following the news, the couple got engaged in December after being together 12 years.
