Dean Gaffney has revealed he feels lucky to be alive after medical checks for I’m A Celebrity flagged up warning signs for bowel cancer and he was rushed in for emergency surgery.
The former EastEnders star, whose eating trial with Joe Swash had hosts Ant and Dec in tears of laughter, was eliminated from the all-stars contest in South Africa on Wednesday ahead of Friday’s final.
But he counts himself fortunate to be here at all after what doctors discovered in tests in 2020, while examining him ahead of a possible appearance in ITV’s Covid-safe series of the show at Gwrych Castle in North Wales.
