Harri spoke about his concerns for his family amid his cancer battle on Love Your Garden.
He said: ‘I was more worried about my family than myself and what they would have to come to terms with.
‘It’s about making the most of life, even if you have a condition or cancer, you have to live every day like you’re dying.
