“I had to go home and tell my wife, who was looking after our babies, that she was on her own pretty much. That was devastating.Speaking about keeping his diagnosis private, he told Hello magazine : “It’s got to the point now where it feels like I’m carrying a dirty secret, it’s become a monkey on my back.
“I hope that by shaking that monkey off I might inspire people who are living with life-limiting prospects to make the most of every day, to help them see that you can live a positive life, even though you are dying."
