"Since then I’ve had so much chemotherapy, so many surgeries radiotherapy, everything, but right now I’m in a break of treatment for a few months and getting stuck into some awesome work opportunities," Henwood said.

Henwood said it was a huge part of his life that he had been "hiding."

He then signed out the video by saying: "I love you all, peace."
