Kym Marsh was supported on air by her co-presenter, Gethin Jones, as she gave a heartbreaking update about her dad.
The 47 year old appeared on BBC Morning Live alongside Gethin Jones on Tuesday (2 November), where she revealed that her dad's cancer had spread.
In 2021, the Hearsay singer shared that her dad, David, had been diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer.
Kym bravely shared the news in the hopes of raising awareness about the illness and encouraging others to go and get checked.
Addressing Kym's comeback on the show, Gethin said: "Kym, it's been a minute since we've seen you."
Kym replied: "I know, it's been a little while, hasn't it?"
Gethin then quizzed Kym about her dad, saying: "I know you've been spending quite a lot of time with your dad recently.
"We know Dave really well on Morning Live, and the reason you've been spending time with him is because you've had some bad news, haven't you?"
Kym then shared the heartbreaking news that more scans have revealed that David's cancer had spread after doctors discovered it had gone further up his spine.
The TV star continued: "Yes, Morning Live has been following dad's cancer diagnosis, which was about two and a half years ago, I think now, and his latest scan results have shown, unfortunately, that there are more cancer deposits further up his spine now."
She added: "They are doing further scans to see if it's gone into any more of his bones, but unfortunately, they can't offer him chemotherapy."
Kym also shared that doctors have now encouraged her and her family to spend as much time with her dad as they can.
She said: "So they advised us to go and spend lots of time with him and make lots of memories. So that's what we've been doing. We went out on Halloween to a lights trail, and he's just been enjoying spending time with his family."
"He's always smiling, isn't he?" Gethin said before acknowledging that Dave would be watching from home.
"We send him all our love, and hopefully we'll see him very soon," Gethin comforted Kym.
Last year, the actress shared that her dad had delayed going to the doctors due to the pandemic, ultimately resulting in cancer spreading to his pelvis, spine, ribs, and left leg.
Talking to her thousands of followers, Kym penned: "This is our wonderful Daddy. For people that don't know, he has incurable cancer.
"But [he] is being treated by the amazing doctors and nurses at his local cancer centre to keep the horrible disease away for as long as possible.”
BBC Morning Live continues weekdays at 9:15 a.m. on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
