Speaking at Bolton Food and Drink Festival on Sunday, Si said Dave is “right in the trenches of it all” but he’s “getting there”.

Si said: “I just wanted to say, from Dave and I, thank you so so very much for all of the goodwill and support, all the messages really do not go unnoticed.

“He’s doing canny but as you appreciate he’s right in the trenches of it all at the minute but he’s getting there, thank God.”

Last month, Si and Dave opened up about the cancer battle on Kate Thornton’s podcast White Wine Question Time.

Meanwhile, Si replied: “It is a very odd chapter and one I wish I…”

Dave then added: “We will get through it.”
