“When the time comes my ashes will be interred with [his wife] Carole's and our little dog. If the cancer reaches my brain, then I'll accept it. But until then, I'm in charge and I'm going on my terms,” he explained, as he said it would be “too upsetting” for his loved ones if he had a funeral.

He also revealed he had stopped chemotherapy, despite his doctors telling him he might not live beyond the New Year. “I can't face anymore of that poison. When I asked a nurse if I'd still be here at Chrismas, she said, ‘We don't know, Trevor.’ And that annoyed me. I've got cancer in my body, but not in here,” Trevor shared.

Last month, Trevor spoke about his cancer diagnosis in an emotional interview on , alongside his beloved wife Carole, and told hosts and he only had six months to live. “I lost a lot of blood one night and was unusually disturbed so went to hospital. They told me I had bowel cancer and I had a little panic attack,” he recalled.

“I looked at Carole and she looked at me, we were both speechless, I didn't know what to say. So I went and had a big gin and tonic,” Trevor said. The doctors discovered the cancer had spread to his liver, and after 13 hours of surgery, he was told the tumour was too large, and “no treatment is going to work” as it was too close to a major blood vessel.

Trevor insisted on still working in his hair salon two days a week, which he said was his “medicine and my life”, and refuses to feel down about his diagnosis. “I never wake up thinking, 'Oh poor me, I've got cancer' or feel sorry for myself. Sixty years I've worked passionately to achieve beyond my wildest dreams. When I go in it's my staff, I've had them for 30 years, I'm just one of the team,” he said. “The brain rules the body. The heart plays a big part as well but that is the engine.”

His wife Carole opened up on her feelings following Trevor’s diagnosis, and said while it was "overwhelming", she praised the hairdresser for being “strong”. She explained: “What we do every day now is show thanks for every day that we have and wake up together and it's all the simple things. I do feel very supported and feel lucky I have that support… but more so from Trevor than anyone because he's incredible.”
