Cancer battle
Patrick starred as Mickey Pearce in the BBC sitcom from 1983 until 2003.
Sadly, he announced he had lung cancer back in 2021. The following year, he revealed he’d been given the all-clear and that his cancer had been “cured” after undergoing chemo and an op to remove a cancerous tumour.
The star also explained he’d had another operation – called a TACE – to remove a separate, unconnected tumour in his liver which was treatable. However, he was told the tumour in his liver was “shrinking”.
However, in April 2023, he told fans the lung cancer had returned despite the “wonderful efforts” of his medics. Patrick said the cancer had spread to his pelvis, leg bones and lymphatic system.
