Merlin spoke to The Sun about his cancer recovery in November and said he was looking forward to his final operation after gruelling rounds of chemotherapy.

I find out in the next couple of weeks, which is exciting.He explained he is classed as "living with cancer" for the time being. Merlin added: "That’s an important distinction to make. Just because you have an operation to remove the tumour doesn’t mean that all of a sudden you are cancer free.“So NED happens after five years for bowel cancer. Now it’s a five year ongoing process before they are willing to say alright, yeah, you’re about as safe as you can be.”
