Celebrity bailiff Delroy Anglin has been given the all-clear from his cancer and may well be returning to the streets.
The star of Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away! has been given a new lease of life after a battle with blood cancer.
Viewers of the hit Channel 5 show came to Delroy's aid when he was diagnosed with the devastating disease a year ago, with over 100 people in just two hours signing up as donors in an attempt to save his life.

The star of the show needed to have a bone marrow transplant, which was eventually successful. Delroy, who is 57 and has six children, was confined to bed for months as he battled leukaemia, but is now in remission and should make a full recovery.
"Delroy Anglin is now in remission," posted the blood cancer charity ACLT on Twitter. "He still has a long way to go but this is definitely a step in the right direction."
Delroy spoke earlier this year of his devastation at the diagnosis.

"You feel as if someone has pronounced a death sentence," he told the Croydon Advertiser back in January.
"At the end of the day, unless somebody says differently - I'm terminal. Life changed straight away, from diagnosis to entering the hospital was a matter of days. When they tell you, you're just hoping someone has made a mistake, but they haven't."
He was confined to a wheelchair after his first round of treatment but still required a transplant donor to stand a chance.
"The next time I forced myself to take a few steps, and not let it do that to me again. Now I'm feeling positive about it. But it won't go away," he said. "A transplant would be a game changer. It's the only way to get rid of it."

Delroy had to leave the show in order to get the treatment that he needed, but may now return to the show if his health allows him.
