Dean Gaffney has revealed that he was rushed to emergency surgery after medical checks for I’m A Celebrity found potential signs for bowel cancer. The ex-Eastenders actor said that he felt fortunate to be alive after the serious scare.
In an interview with the Mirror, Dean said that he believed his life had been saved by the set’s medical crew. He explained: “There is no doubt I’m A Celeb and its medical team saved my life. I might not be here today if it wasn’t for them finding what they did.”
Dean, 45, appeared in the latest series of the show when he was eliminated on Wednesday two days before the final. It was when he appeared on the show in Wales in 2020 that the doctors discovered his problem and operated immediately.
