Emmerdale actor Liam Fox reveals secret cancer battle after waiting eight years for treatment


The actor, 54, who played Dan Spencer in the ITV soap from 2011 to 2023, said after 'waiting since 2017' he finally underwent surgery last month.

'Finally sorted at the fabulous plastic surgery dept at St Helens Hospital… what an absolutely superb fun friendly team. In a further update, Liam added: 'Just changing the dressing after my carcinoma removal and thought I’d post the picture… nice work from St Helens NHS England but another reminder to cover up…' A sore that bleeds may indicate another type of non-melanoma skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma which, like SCC, has a high survival rate.
