Rolf Harris is “very sick and unwell” and requires around the clock care after being diagnosed with neck cancer.
The convicted paedophile, 93, who lives at his £5million home in Berkshire, has been struggling to speak and eat as his battle with the disease continues.
The disgraced TV star shares the home with his wife of 64 years Alwen Hughes, 61, who is in a wheelchair due to suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

“Rolf has been very sick. When I saw him he was able to speak to me. He was with it, but he was obviously unwell,” he told the publication.
He also claimed the former entertainer “gurgles” when talking and is hard to understand, while his wife is “very frail”.

In July 2014, at the age of 84, Harris was jailed for five years and nine months for 12 indecent assaults on four girls between 1968 and 1986.
The assaults include one on an eight-year-old, two on girls in their early teens, and also the abuse of one of his daughter’s friend which lasted over a period of 16 years.

A detective who quizzed him after his arrest said he “came across as massively arrogant”, adding: “The biggest concern he had wasn’t the actual nature of the allegation but it becoming public and the damage it would do to his credibility.’”
Harris was released on license in 2017 after serving nearly three years at HM Prison Stafford and now lives a reclusive life in the English village of Bray.
