Social media star Rob Mills, 76, has told how participating in his son's popular Facebook videos gave him a ‘new lease on life’ after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Mr Mills, also known as Grandad, was diagnosed during lockdown when he was already a regular fixture in TheClient’s Facebook videos. Filmed by and featuring his son Peter, the videos consist of pranks, vlogs and other content which, the Mills family say, is designed to ‘put a smile on people’s faces.’

Attracting millions of views across a range of platforms, and 30,000 followers on Facebook, the videos have gone down a treat with fans all over the world, and it’s that huge sense of community, Rob said, that gave him the strength when he needed it most.
