So i have the news. It was a bit of a shock and i've got an interesting journey ahead and a bit of a battle. I am starting agressive treatment for the next few months to fight the diagnosis of brain cancer. Please stay positive for me and ill try to update you guys on my progress 🤞🏼 xx

It was August of this year that the former X-Factor contestant shared the horrible news. The happy-go-lucky fan favourite shared that he visited the doctor casually to find a cure for his migraines, but CT and MRI scans revealed the terrifying truth. There was a 7cm tumour in the right frontal lobe of his brain – it turned out to be cancerous – and Johnny would die unless he had emergency surgery to remove it.

Sharing to his fans at the time, Ruffo wrote: 'So i have the news. It was a bit of a shock and i've got an interesting journey ahead and a bit of a battle.

After an intense radiotherapy schedule - five days a week for six weeks - it appears the star is officially on the mend!

So good to see Johnny making such a great recovery!
