His birthday celebrations come following his cancer battle after he was diagnosed with the disease in 2022. 

He receive his diagnosis in February 2022 after Gabby, 52, urged him to go to the doctors. 

Kenny was inspired to go for a general check up after hearing guests on his wife's podcast discuss having their hormones tested. And when he did his results showed a high level of PSA - prostate-specific antigen. 

'I got checked and very quickly, within three to four months, I had a biopsy and they said there was something there but they'd keep an eye on it,' he said.

He said what stood out the most from that appointment was the specialist telling him '40 per cent of [his] mates have got this [high PSA levels] but don't know'. 

It doesn't always lead to cancer and many men go their entire lives not knowing.

So when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer a short time later, Kenny recalled it being 'a huge shock'.

He made the decision to remove the prostate entirely and is now three months post operation feeling almost as good as new.

'I'm probably about 90 per cent back to normal,' he said. 

Prostate cancer can often be treated if caught early, but symptoms usually do not show up until the cancer is already in advanced states.

It is the most common cancer in men in the UK. The couple are encouraging men to learn more about the disease and consider talking to their GP about the risks. 

Every year, upwards of 52,300 men are    

Up to 11,800 men in Britain die from prostate cancer annually, meaning it .

How many people does it kill? 

More than 11,800 men a year - or one every 45 minutes - are killed by the disease in Britain, compared with about 11,400 women dying of breast cancer.

It means prostate cancer is behind only lung and bowel in terms of how many people it kills in Britain. 

In the US, the disease kills 26,000 men each year.

Despite this, it receives less than half the research funding of breast cancer and treatments for the disease are trailing at least a decade behind.

How many men are diagnosed annually?

Every year, upwards of 52,300 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK - more than 140 every day.   

How quickly does it develop? 

Prostate cancer usually develops slowly, so there may be no signs someone has it for many years, according to the NHS

If the cancer is at an early stage and not causing symptoms, a policy of 'watchful waiting' or 'active surveillance' may be adopted. 

Some patients can be cured if the disease is treated in the early stages.

But if it is diagnosed at a later stage, when it has spread, then it becomes terminal and treatment revolves around relieving symptoms.

Thousands of men are put off seeking a diagnosis because of the known side effects from treatment, including erectile dysfunction.

Tests and treatment

Tests for prostate cancer are haphazard, with accurate tools only just beginning to emerge. 

There is no national prostate screening programme as for years the tests have been too inaccurate.

Doctors struggle to distinguish between aggressive and less serious tumours, making it hard to decide on treatment.

Men over 50 are eligible for a ‘PSA’ blood test which gives doctors a rough idea of whether a patient is at risk.

But it is unreliable. Patients who get a positive result are usually given a biopsy which is also not fool-proof. 

Scientists are unsure as to what causes prostate cancer, but age, obesity and a lack of exercise are known risks.
