In November, Bill revealed that he “ignored” his cancer symptoms which appeared between six to eight months before he was first diagnosed.
Speaking to Kym Marsh and Gethin Jones on BBC Morning Live, he said: “We were working out the other day; the first symptoms were maybe six months, eight months before I got diagnosed, with aches and pains that didn’t go away.
“And actually there were other warning signs in the previous years as well that I should have paid attention to.”
Bill went on to add: “Men don’t want to go to the doctors, as simple as that.
“I didn’t want to go to the doctor, now I’m going to the doctor all the time, they all know me on a first-name basis.”
