This Morning star shares terminal cancer diagnosis revealing he has weeks to live

Trevor Sorbie gave an emotional interview to This Morning's Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley and told them he had been diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer

Celebrated hair stylist Trevor Sorbie, 75, made a poignant appearance on This Morning, where he shared with presenters Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley the devastating news of his terminal bowel cancer diagnosis.

The internationally acclaimed hairdresser, who has been awarded an MBE and won British Hairdresser of the Year four times, recounted the moment his life changed after losing a significant amount of blood one evening. The emotional segment saw both Ben and Cat deeply affected by Trevor's candid recounting, as he sat alongside his wife, describing the initial shock they experienced upon learning of his condition.

He told the audience: "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. I looked at Carole [his wife] and she looked at me, we were both speechless, didn't know what to say. So I went and had a big gin and tonic."

Carole, sharing in the emotional burden, continued the story, revealing the cancer's spread to his liver and the gruelling surgeries that followed. "It then spread to his liver and he had a six and a half hour operation, he came back and he had another six and a half hour operation," she explained.

Trevor's illustrious career spans over five decades, during which he has styled numerous celebrities, including the Queen, Lorraine Kelly, Robbie Williams, and Helen Mirren. His battle with cancer has been marked by resilience; previously, he disclosed the harrowing experience of facing "five cancers in three years" and the challenging side effects of treatments like chemotherapy, which caused him to lose sensation in his fingers.

The renowned celebrity hairstylist opened up in 2023 about his challenging diagnosis: "When you do hair, you feel the hair it's the material that you feel, the quality of it, the thickness, the curl, and I can't do that any more. But I go around and say, 'Excuse me, madam,' and I start talking to them. We have such friendly chats," reports OK!.

Having left school at 15 due to bullying, Trevor started his career in his father's barbershop in Paisley. He moved on to attend a prestigious hairdressing college in London and climbed the professional ladder, eventually opening his own celebrated salon.

Trevor is famed for his seminal creations - including the wedge, the wolf man and the scrunch - that defined looks throughout the 70s and 80s. His innovative styles attracted a star-studded clientele such as Paul McCartney and Vivienne Westwood.

Alongside this, Trevor became a familiar face on television and amassed wealth with his exclusive line of haircare products.
