During filming BGT in July 2020, a suspicious mole on the left side of his head was found to be a melanoma. This wasn't talked about on the show so as not to become the narrative, and after treatment he was given the all-clear by the end of that year. It was then discovered that the cancer had spread to his neck which required major surgery and a course of treatment. This experience inspired a new show 'Against The Odds', a one-man comedy musical that he took to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022.[7]

He is from Mossley, Greater Manchester and has also lived in Suffolk.[citation needed]
