"The very first week before all the treatment started you have a week of going round hospitals and bits and pieces, it’s enormous pressure on Lil my partner, but Si was the one who drove us around for a week, hospital to hospital, London in and out, in and out.

“There was a week when Lil had to go away so Si came to see me and take me to the hospital so that’s got nothing to do with the telly - he batch cooked for my freezer!”

Dave revealed the news of his cancer diagnosis on an episode of the pair's Agony Uncles podcast in May when he shared he would be away from work, asking fans to "respect his privacy" as he undergoes treatment.

Si appeared on This Morning on Thursday. The chef joined Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield as he showed them, and viewers, how to make a steak bake.

When asked about Dave's recovery, he said: "He's definitely getting stronger and stronger."
