Shaun has struggled with other health issues over the years, including non-cancerous cysts in his testicles, which he first noticed during lockdown, meaning he was unable to have them operated on.
Speaking to The Sun, Shaun said: "I had one [cyst], now I’ve got two, and they are an absolute pain. I just keep taking the tablets and painkillers as they are hitting the nerves."

Queen guitarist Brian May has also been in the wars, saying the current Queen tour meant "everything (physically) hurts!"
He continued: "This show is at the limit of our collective energies - and something I've been training for all through the last six months. It's right on the limit."
Luckily Brian was well enough to perform at the Jubilee Platinum Party At The Palace.
