Jack's tumour fecks off
Father Ted star winning cancer fight
Father Ted star Frank Kelly has been diagnosed with bowel cancer – but says he is winning the battle.Kelly, who played ‘feck’-shouting Jack Hackett, had a tumour removed last year.
He is currently undergoing a seven-month chemotherapy course to reduced the chance of it returning.
Kelly, 69, told The Mirror: ‘The tumour was the size of a bloody cabbage. I had discomforts and symptoms that I thought were just bowel problems.
‘But when you're told it's cancer, it doesn't come as such a massive shock.
‘I've made a complete recovery. But I need chemo to reduce the chance of it returning.’
