When asked by host Steve Mann if he was still an ambassador for Crohn's disease, Jeff responded: "Crohn's; no, I'm not anymore, but I was for years because I've had Crohn's since I was 24, 25, and I've now managed to keep it under wraps because of diet.".
According to the National Health Service, Crohn's disease is one of the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which affects more than 500,000 people across the UK.
As an ambassador for Crohn's and Colitis UK, Jeff reassured others by saying: "You are not alone if you are suffering from Crohn's or Colitis... although sometimes you might feel as if you are.".
Jeff Hordley, best known for his role as Cain Dingle in the popular ITV soap Emmerdale, has shared how a simple lifestyle change has helped him manage his chronic Crohn's disease without medication.
Jeff was diagnosed with Crohn's after he sadly lost his mother, who also had the condition, and he went on to be an advocate who campaigned to raise awareness.
