Trevor Sorbie reveals he plans to spend his final days watching films and eating pizza with his beloved wife Carole amid bowel cancer diagnosis

Trevor Sorbie has revealed he plans to spend his final days spending quality time with his wife Carole, watching films and eating pizza together.

The hairdresser, 75, to the stars shared the sad news that he had terminal bowel cancer last month and has since been told he may not see Christmas. 

He said at the time: 'I lost a lot of blood one night and was unusually disturbed so went to hospital. They told me I had bowel cancer and I had a little panic attack.'

Speaking about his plans for the coming weeks, he told The Times: 'I want to live every day enjoying what I've got and making the most if it. 

'I never knew dying could be this much fun.'

Trevor also insisted he does not want a funeral, describing it as 'too upsetting'. 

He said: 'When the time comes my ashes will be interred with [his wife] Carole's and our little dog.'

Trevor met Carole, his third wife, in 2007 when he was in his fifties. The couple split their time betwen London and their home in Gosport, Portsmouth. 

The pair also work together, running the charity My New Hair which supplies wigs to people with cancer. 

Appearing on This Morning last month alongside his wife Carole, Trevor revealed the sad news and said he found out in June he has around six months left.  

He said: 'I lost a lot of blood one night and was unusually disturbed so went to hospital. They told me I had bowel cancer and I had a little panic attack. 

'I looked at Carole and she looked at me, we were both speechless, I didn't know what to say. So I went and had a big gin and tonic.'

It then spread to his liver and he had a six and a half hour operation, he came back and he had another six and a half hour operation.

Carole spoke candidly about how she has coped with her husband's diagnosis, saying: 'It's totally overwhelming most days.

'But I get my strength through this man - he's guiding me through a good death - living a good life and dying a good death - and up until then I hadn't thought about that.

'But what we do every day now is show thanks for every day that we have and wake up together and it's all the simple things.

'Our little dog is pure medicine, we have a wonderful family, and we are supported by the whole Trevor Sorbie family… and we are all being guided by Trevor.'

She added: 'I did struggle and was crying a lot but Trevor and my son encourage me to go to counselling.

'I've actually started bereavement counselling which I didn't know you could do before.

'They are going to guide me through and hold my hand and up until two years, or however long it takes after the event.

'So I do feel very supported and feel lucky I have that support… but more so from Trevor than anyone because he's incredible.'

Meanwhile, Trevor told Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: 'I never wake up thinking, 'Oh poor me, I've got cancer' or feel sorry for myself.

'Sixty years I've worked passionately to achieve beyond my wildest dreams. When I go in it's my staff, I've had them for 30 years, I'm just one of the team. 

'I had a nurse come round the other day to assess me and as I asked 'Will I make Christmas?' She said 'I don't know Trevor'. 

'I said 'I damn well will'. The brain rules the body. The heart plays a big part as well but that is the engine.' 

Trevor has one child, daughter Jade from his first marriage to Sue. He was later married to a woman named Kris. 

A message posted on Trevor's official Instagram on Wednesday paid tribute to his incredible career.

'This morning, Trevor Sorbie MBE will be appearing on This Morning on ITV to reflect on his remarkable 45-year career and the journey he's been on since his cancer diagnosis five years ago.'

'From creating the revolutionary haircut that became The Wedge 50 years ago to opening his first salon in 1979, Trevor's creativity, kindness, and passion have transformed the world of hairdressing. His influence, from trend-setting styles like The Scrunch and The Wolf, to mentoring countless hairdressers, continues to inspire us all.'

'As Trevor now reaches the end of his cancer treatment, we know his time with us is limited, but his spirit remains focused on celebrating life and the remarkable legacy he has built.'

Trevor is the creator of the wedge haircut and a four-time British Hairdresser of the Year winner. He was appointed an MBE in 2004. 

His celebrity clients include Paul McCartney, Helen Mirren, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, and The Beach Boys.

The hairdresser was also a regular on daytime shows such as This Morning and The Wright Stuff, offering advice or giving makeovers. 

Following his emotional interview, viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to commend him on his bravery and said urged him to 'keep fighting'.  

They wrote: 'sending hugs to Trevor and his wife xx'

'what a man! a genuine true legacy of a man! & the 2 of them, this team! Carole & Trevor are just the dream team. two awesome humans. Trevor, we love you. & we will never ever forget. thankyou thankyou thankyou for your work, your talents ie: that 'wedge' & more important, your beautiful smile'. 

'So lovely to see you today Trevor, happy memories of the makeovers back in the day. By being on the show you have no doubt helped others. Sending lots of love to you and your lovely wife. x'

'Honestly God bless Trevor. I don't know how Ben and Kat held it together. What a gorgeous man and it's so so sad he will be gone soon... God bless'. 

'What an emotional/uplifting interview. What an incredible man keep fighting Trevor'.

Looking back on his incredible career Trevor revealed he didn't plan to be a hairdresser originally.

He said, 'I wanted to be an artist. But I got bullied at school and my dad was a barber, and he said come into the salon… and I found hairdressing easy! I was cutting people's hair within three months, so I was still quite creative.'

Of his statement styles from the 70s and 80s, Trevor admitted, 'At the time you have no idea you are creating anything groundbreaking. You're just doing what you feel comes natural. I mean I invented scrunch drying as a bit of an accident - to speed up the process a little bit.'
