Kym Marsh has shared an emotional video as her dad started a brand new treatment. The former Coronation Street actress revealed last summer that her father Dave had been diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer.

She shared how Dave had delayed going to the doctors due the coronavirus pandemic before sharing the devastating news that the disease had spread to his pelvis, spine, ribs and left leg.

In June, Kym's parents appeared on Morning Live, which she co-hosts on the BBC, with their daughter to share the importance of getting your prostate checked.

Now, in a fresh update posted to Instagram on Wednesday (October 12), Kym shared a tear-jerking video of Dave ringing a bell in the hospital as he started a new journey with new cancer treatment.
