The actress, 47, surprised Dave, with an inking of an ice cream on her forearm because he has become "obsessed" with the sweet treats since his incurable cancer diagnosis.

Kym, currently appearing in Waterloo Road, previously told how her dad was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer following a PSA test — a blood test which helps to detect the disease.

She revealed: “I think a normal level is between two and four and dad’s was well over thousand, so they knew something wasn’t right.”

Despite experiencing pain and other symptoms, Dave initially delayed a check-up with his GP due to the pandemic.

Kym said: “Dad knew how busy the NHS was with the pandemic and didn’t want to be a burden so put off going to the doctors.

 “Unfortunately, by the time he did go and the cancer was found it had spread into his leg, rib, pelvis and spine.

“The diagnosis was devastating for all of us but he’s received the best care possible since.”
