BROOKSIDE legend Dean Sullivan <\/strong>has sadly passed away at the age of 68 after a five-year battle with cancer.<\/p>\n

The Jimmy Corkhill actor admitted he left his health "in the hands of fate" after being diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The star was last pictured at the Everyman theatre in Liverpool two months ago alongside his former co-star and onscreen wife Sue Jenkins, who played Jackie Corkhill in the Channel 4 soap opera.<\/p>\n

Dean looked chuffed as he posed next to Sue, 65, back in September, when he supported her at her performance of stage show Cuckoo.<\/p>\n

He shared the picture on his social media and penned: "With Sue at Cuckoo at Everyman Liverpool she gives a great performance! Go see!"<\/p>\n

Many fans were delighted to see the pair reunite, with one follower writing: "Oh ace. Workplace husband & wife."<\/p>\n

A few months earlier he was pictured with former co-stars Claire Sweeney and Sue Jenkins in June at the British Soap Awards 2023.<\/p>\n

He wrote: "Reunited with my Corkhill 'wife' and 'daughter' the gorgeous Sue and the gorgeous Claire at the British Soap Awards 2023! – ITV Tuesday 8pm! We had a ball!"<\/p>\n

Dean's agent this morning revealed\u00a0he had died peacefully following a short illness.<\/p>\n

A statement read: "To millions he was and very much still is remembered as 'Jimmy', to family and friends he was 'Dino'.<\/p>\n

"Dean's family wants to thank Arrowe Park Hospital for their unwavering and consistent support.<\/p>\n

"We ask that you respect their privacy in their time of grief."<\/p>\n

He previously told the\u00a0Liverpool Echo: "The way I dealt with it was that I just sort of put myself in the hands of fate. If this was my time, then this was my time so I was quite philosophical about it really.<\/p>\n

"I know that people would worry themselves into an early grave as it were but I'm not that sort of person, I try to keep positive about things and I just got on with my life."<\/p>\n

The soap opera icon revealed he did not struggle with many of the symptoms usually associated with prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

However, he did notice a reduced flow and decided to get checked after listening to his gut instinct.<\/p>\n

The first medical professional he saw told him to monitor it, but a second opinion confirmed he had the disease.<\/p>\n

"If I'd have listened to the first doctor, it might have been a different story so always trust your gut, 11 times out of 10, you're right, we've still got that fight or flight instinct," he added.<\/p>\n

Dean is confident his early diagnosis helped lead to his successful treatment and has warned others to get checked as soon as they notice any changes.<\/p>\n

When the Brookside star was told he had prostate cancer, he only told a handful of close family and friends.<\/p>\n
