Tom, 33, could be seen relaxing backstage in a large leather chair with a pillow behind his head as he and pal Max, 33, prepared to perform.

Looking to be gathering energy for the evening show in Birmingham, the father-of-two turned to the camera and smiled as his friend filmed him.

"About half an hour until we're on in Birmingham - Tommy?" Max could be heard telling the camera before panning it to face Tom.

"Ready for tonight?" he asked his pal, who quietly responded: "Yes I am," before he encouraged him: "Get in!"

It came shortly after Max revealed that Tom was having to use a wheelchair for the shows as he continued his fight against cancer.

Max has been looking after his poorly friend, who he has called a "warrior", while they are on tour together.

He joked the previous night: "Tom is just on his ninth meal of the day," as Tom laughed while tucking into chicken and salad.

He also gave a message to Tom's wife Kelsey, saying: "Just so you know Kels, the chips don't get touched."

Max also shared a sweet snap of the pair lying on the bed, commenting that they were having a "Netflix night".

Tom has appeared with bandmates Jay McGuinness, Siva Kaneswaran, Nathan Sykes and Max on stage for their hit Glad You Came.

He missed the start of the group's Most Wanted greatest hits tour last week to undergo pioneering treatment on his brain cancer in Spain.

But days later he made it to the show, nodding and smiling as his bandmates performed beside him.

The dad-of-two has undergone numerous rounds of chemotherpay and radiotherapy since being diagnosed with an inoperable tumour in 2020.

He has previously said he is shocked at the lack of treatment and funding for cancer patients in the UK.

A chemotherapy drug called Temozolomide has for 20 years been the standard NHS treatment for glioblastoma patients.

But treatments he recently received at a private facility in Spain include time in an oxygen machine, massages and a special diet.
