Bobby Davro trying to 'smile through agony' after fiancée's diagnosis

Bobby Davro is desperately trying to “smile through the absolute agony” of watching his fiancée fight cancer, he has said in a moving interview. The 64-year-old entertainer told through tears how long-time partner Vicky Wright is battling pancreatic cancer.

He said they were dealing with the “devastating” diagnosis by ­trying to keep on laughing. And he hopes going public will help others whose partners have been struck down by illness, reports the Daily Star.

Bobby, 64, said: “My best advice for someone in a similar position is that laughter is the best medicine.” He added: “I always remember this quote, ‘Don’t let the world change your smile – get your smile to change the world’.”
