In March, Tom took to Instagram to share an inspiring behind-the-scenes-photo from his fight against a brain tumour.
Alongside a photo of him receiving treatment, the father-of-two wrote: ‘Another day of saving my life.’
This is Tom’s second round of lifesaving treatment after he received chemotherapy and radiotherapy last year.

The singer took a break from the medication due to problems with his liver but is now back in hospital for his second round of chemotherapy.
The musician has every motivation to keep fighting after doctors told him his tumour had responded well to chemotherapy and had ‘shrunk significantly’ in January.
Tom’s wife Kelsey recently revealed the couple’s children are too young to understand ‘how ill their dad actually is’.

Speaking during an appearance on Loose Women last month, she said: ‘I just think that they don’t really know that daddy is ill at the moment.
‘When Tom goes off to treatment, he’s off or he’s going to work or wherever he’s going.
‘So to them, they don’t really know how ill their dad actually is. They’re doing so well, the kids. We’re all doing really well.’
She continued: ‘We’ve only just started our second round [of chemotherapy], so we’ve had radio and chemo, we’ve had a bit of a break, because he had a bit of a dodgy liver, and now we’ve just started the second round of chemo.
‘The tumour has shrunk, we’ve had a significant reduction. We were all just in tears when we got that news in January.
‘We just couldn’t believe it, that he’d had radio and chemo and he’s had a significant reduction after that. We were just all so overwhelmed.’
Tom updated fans on his progress in a lengthy post in January announcing a reduction in the size of his tumour.
He wrote: ‘SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION These are the words I received today and I can’t stop saying them over and over again.

‘I had an MRI scan on Tuesday and my results today were a significant reduction to the tumour and I am responding well to treatment. Everyday I’m keeping on the fight to shrink this b*****d!
He continued: ‘I can’t thank our wonderful NHS enough. You’re all having a tough time out there but we appreciate the work you are all doing on the front line.’
‘To my amazing wife @being_kelsey who has literally been my rock. My babies – I fight for you every second of every day.
‘Friends, family and everyone on this journey with me- you have got me through my darkest days.
‘To everyone on here- your love, light and positivity have inspired me. Every message has not been unnoticed they have given me so much strength. This journey is a rollercoaster that’s for sure. Today is a f*****g good day.’
