Dez went ahead and posted the following statement on his private instagram account:
“Hello everyone, my wife has been diagnosed with cancer.
“I will be staying home to care for her and be by her side every minute as she begins her cancer fight with surgery and further treatments.
“Apologies to all, but I’m sure you all understand that family comes before work.
“We thank you for all your well wishes at this time.”
