The barman from popular Channel 4 show First Dates, Merlin Griffiths, has provided loyal fans with a health update after receiving treatment for bowel cancer. Merlin, 47, who first appeared on the programmed 10 years ago, was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer in September 2021 and since then has been open and honest with his followers on his journey with the disease.
In a recent Instagram post, he shared some wonderful news with his supporters in which he revealed that, after his one-year colonoscopy check up for bowel cancer, he is "clear".
It comes just three months after the First Dates star, who also owns his own pub, shared pictures ahead of the final phase of treatment and recovery from bowel cancer.
