First Dates star Merlin Griffiths has opened up about his ongoing battle with bowel cancer and has encouraged millions of others to get checked out for the disease.
The TV barman says he is still 'living with cancer' despite undergoing chemotherapy and successful operations to remove a 4.5cm stage three tumour earlier this year.
The Channel 4 star, who also runs his own pub, faces a further operation later this year, however, and has been told there is a 30% chance the cancer could return in the next five years.
