“Minus half a liver and a tumour that the wonderful Prof Heaton removed last week. I kept this under my hat that they’d discovered another primary cancer last year.”

He went on to write: “I am a two-person, that’s for sure. High fives to all at Kings College Hospital.”

Patrick’s post was soon flooded with get-well messages from his followers, with one writing: “Oh Pat, Gutted to read that BUT a positive start for 2023 & I really hope you make a speedy recovery with a clean bill of health for the future.

“Keep going mate, positive attitude and you will be fine! Wish you a quick recovery,” gushed a fourth.

Meanwhile, Coronation Street’s Jim McDonald actor Charlie Lawson tweeted: “God love you Pat. x”

Just last year, Patrick explained that he’d been diagnosed with lung cancer after specialist doctors had discovered a malignant tumour.

Speaking just five months after his diagnosis, Patrick told his fans: “Thanks again for all your lovely messages. As you may know, I was diagnosed with lung cancer last July.

“After an op in October to remove the tumour I had chemo to help prevent the cancer returning.”

He went on to add: “During this chemo, another tumour was discovered in my liver. Luckily for me, this cancer was unconnected to the lung cancer and was also treatable.

“I had a procedure called TACE to deal with this. Last Friday l saw my oncologist She told me the lung cancer was cured and that the tumour in my liver was shrinking.

Patrick shared a glimmer of hope as he continued: “It’s not over yet, but as you can imagine I am over the moon with this latest news.

“Thanks to the brilliant doctors and nurses of our NHS, I will hopefully I be there, at next years convention.”
