Rhod Gilbert is feeling positive amid his recovery

The comedy star revealed earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer - but Rhod is trying to remain optimistic and he's already making plans for 2023.

Rhod, 54, wrote on his Facebook page: "I am making plans for 2023, so watch this space for info on the comedy stuff; there have been a lot of laughs in odd places, so I am not going to be short of material."

Rhod has undergone surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy at the Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff.

And he's thanked the staff there for their efforts over recent months.

He wrote: "I am recovering well, laughing a lot and feeling happy and positive; we are all optimistic that I will come through this.

"Until then, thanks again for your kindness and support. Big love to you all, and Merry Christmas. Rhod. (sic)"

The TV star previously revealed that he was a patron of the Velindre Cancer Centre before he became a patient.

Rhod also discussed some of the symptoms of his health problems.

He shared: "I had a terribly sore throat, tightness through my neck. I was having to cancel shows because I couldn’t breathe.

"I was having all sorts of problems and we couldn’t get to the bottom of it.

"It turns out I’ve got stage four cancer. I also caught Covid on that walk as well. I came home with cancer and Covid from a Velindre fundraising trek … the irony of that! I went as a Velindre patron and came home as a patient. (sic)"
