Tom continued: “It was only meant to last 20 days but due to a couple of logistical changes with tests and results it won’t be complete until the end of the week now which has delayed our journey home.
“I’m obviously gutted that I’ll be missing the first few shows but as I’m sure you will understand, I have to complete my treatment cycle.
"I’ve been zooming into rehearsals all week and I know that the show will be incredible and that my boys will hold the fort until I’m back.
“Can’t wait to see you all very soon, hope you all enjoy the show. Much love, Tom x.”
Tom’s wife Kelsey Hardwick also shared a message with her followers, ‘calling on angels’ to help her husband during this time.
“Tom has made a massive amount of progress physically but also mentally,” Kelsey wrote in the heartfelt message, “he has reignited a spark in himself through seeing all the incredible love & support you have shown us.
“I would love for everyone to light a candle and say this mantra out loud. We are asking the universe to answer our prayers… when there is belief, love & hope - anything is possible.”
