So I’m back at Weston Park tomorrow to see if my liver has calmed itself down enough for me to go back on treatment. My cancer is not curable – but immunotherapy is helping to extend my time. I’ve been on steroids for a week and right now I feel like I could run a…

Ten years ago, I was a very driven chef and my first restaurant (Gastro pub) was award winning. Then bang 💥2013 the #bigc changed my world and out look on the world forever. I hid myself away for about six months – only communicating with my wife Adele but this time I’ve decided to be open and honest…

For those who don’t know me – I’m a chef. I appeared on the Great British Menu and once strived for that coveted Michelin star. It means so much that so many of my peers – people who I admire and respect – are sending me well wishes at this difficult time. Thank you to…

The blog and my social media have been quiet these last few days. I’ve felt rubbish. A few weeks ago I hit bottom but quickly bobbed back up. This time, I’ve felt I was in sand. Lifting my arms was even too much of an effort. It was dragging me down and I stayed down…

It’s hard to find the words to say thankyou. It’s difficult to put into words what something like this means. Our friends have been raising money to help us make some special memories with the boys – and we are absolutely astounded that in just a few short days that campaign total shot up and…

When I started this journey, just a few weeks ago, I swore this time would be different. Those of you who’ve followed my blog know this isn’t the first time I’ve been diagnosed with cancer. But I have to say this time I’ve had to do things differently. The first time around I didn’t want…

I have been feeling very much like a car crash and my blood tests today explained why. My liver is inflamed which means the immunotherapy had to pause so we can get this under control. I’ve been given tablets – lots of them – and just hope I see a swift improvement so I can…

I don’t know what’s worse. Love Island or Stage 4 cancer. But if you can’t beat them, join them…I have to say this was done in retaliation to a friend of mine Dave Holmes who posted a hilarious video of himself trying to follow my cookbook Bilton Basics. Top that, Dave!

#day35 after feeling terrible all last week. I’ve had some lovely messages from some top people that I’ve come to call friends over the years. This means so much love to you all. I’ve felt horrendous – my whole body has been aching. But the lovely messages I get make me get my ass up and…

A friend of Adele’s called Laura has arranged a fund-raiser for us this weekend. I’ve copied her words below because I still find it a little awkward to write about myself. If anyone needs to know my story, you can read it below and why she’s raising money. She’s swimming Lake Windermere with her husband…
