An unlikely TV star who was diagnosed with leukaemia last year has won his battle against the blood cancer.
Delroy Anglin found fame as a bailiff on Channel 5’s Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away, a long- running series described by the channel as ‘revealing the dramatic stories of British people on the sharp end of bad debt’.
The 57-year-old father of six had discovered his life-threatening condition after going to the doctor because he felt he was catching more colds than usual.

A routine blood test revealed the scale of Delroy’s problem and he underwent chemotherapy before being told told he had to find a stem cell transplant.
Speaking to his local newspaper, The Croydon Advertiser, at the time of his diagnosis in April 2017, Delroy feared that it was a battle which he might not win.
“You feel as if someone has pronounced a death sentence,” he said.
“Life changed in an instant. When they tell you, you’re just hoping that someone has made a mistake, but they haven’t. At the end of the day, unless somebody says differently, I’m terminal.”
