Tom Parker has revealed that he has been given his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
The 32-year-old, member of on-hiatus boyband The Wanted, revealed in October that he had been diagnosed with a stage four terminal brain tumour.
Parker vowed to fight the disease and earlier this month revealed the good news that he has seen a "significant reduction" in the tumour following treatment.
The COVID-19 vaccine is currently being rolled out to the over-70s and the clinically vulnerable in the UK - and owing to his condition, Parker has become eligible for his vaccination.
Posting a thumbs-up Boomerang to his Instagram, the singer wrote: "'Off to get my first Covid jab. Get vaccinated."
According to the latest government figures, over 7.16 million people have now received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine - including more than 75% of everyone aged 80 or over in the country.
