Home and Away fans rush to support star amid cancer battle update

Home and Away fans have rushed to offer their love and support to the Australian soap's star Johnny Ruffo - known for playing Chris Harrington - as he continues to battle his cancer diagnosis. In a new update to followers, the actor posted a picture of himself on Instagram from hospital.

"Back in my favourite chair.. #ihatethischair #f***cancer", he wrote in the caption as he shared a snapshot of him smiling with a thumbs up while sat in a medical chair. It comes as the 34-year-old says he is undergoing more treatment after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

Johnny was originally diagnosed with cancer back in 2017, before reportedly becoming cancer-free two years later in 2019. However, in 2020, he announced the disease had returned and last year he revealed that he has terminal cancer, the Mirror reports.
