One of the stars of Channel 5's Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away! has revealed he has been diagnosed with blood cancer.

55-year old Delroy Anglin, one of the team of bailiffs on the show, spoke to the Croydon Advertiser about his diagnosis, stating:

"You feel as if someone has pronounced a death sentence. Life changed in an instant.

"When they tell you, you're just hoping someone has made a mistake, but they haven't.

"At the end of the day, unless somebody says differently - I'm terminal."

The publication explains that Delroy has a form of leukaemia that affects the balance of white and red blood cells, and has been undergoing chemotherapy in hospital.

He needs a bone marrow transplant, and friends, co-workers and family have been using social media to try and find a donor.

"I have had so much support, from everyone including complete strangers," Delroy continued.

"I'm Croydon born and bred, I know everyone. And being on telly – I still don't know how that happened – that gives me an opportunity to raise awareness.

"Hopefully we can encourage more people to become donors, because if I'm honest, even I didn't know anything about this issue."

That's a real bummer, he seems a decent guy.
Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.

Yeah, one of my favourite characters from one of my favourite shows. I'm sure the rest of the gang will rally around him.
