Jordan Henderson's dad hid from family for 10 months during brutal cancer recovery

Jordan Henderson's father says he hid away from his family for 10 months whilst in recovery from mouth and throat cancer - because he didn't want them to see his face.

Brian Henderson, 68, underwent brutal radiotherapy in 2014 that left his face and neck badly burnt, blistered, and infected.

Brian recalls the moment he told "shocked" Jordan about his diagnosis during a "very emotional" face to face conversation.
