First Dates bartender Merlin Griffiths is set to have “robotic surgery” in under a month, as he continues his fight against bowel cancer.
Last year the 46-year-old dad of one was told by doctors he has a 75% chance of living beyond five years, after medics found a 4.5cm stage three tumour.
Yesterday, the bartender, who is known for being a calm and friendly presence on Channel 4's First Dates, posted on Twitter: "Operation scheduled. 3 weeks to get my s**t together. Robotic surgery, welcome to the future!"
