Johnny Ruffo's ‘Madly in Love’ Holiday Update Sparks Support Surge from Home and Away Fans

For those of you who prefer life’s simple pleasures, like a hot cuppa and some heart-warming entertainment news, we've got just the thing.

You’re probably familiar with the name Johnny Ruffo, correct? The heart-throb from the much-loved soap, Home and Away, who's been on an incredible journey over the years, both on and off the screen.



First, let's take a trip down memory lane. Ruffo came into our lives as the charming Chris Harrington, a character that captured the audience's hearts instantly.

His charming portrayal led to compelling storylines, firmly establishing him as a fan favourite.

Between 2013 to 2016, Johnny was a constant on our TVs, exiting the show only to further his already flourishing singing career, a step that proved equally successful.

Returning to present day, Johnny has been transparent about his difficult journey of battling terminal cancer.



In a bittersweet update, he recently gave fans a glimpse of his life 'back to reality' following a getaway with his girlfriend, Tahnee Sims.

The couple jetted off to Queenstown, New Zealand, sharing spectacular scenic delights with fans.

From thrilling helicopter rides to tranquil spa dates, their adventure was a sight to behold.

But life keeps reminding us of its realities. Johnny's hospital chair image, as he received another round of chemotherapy, and the accompanying three-punching emojis symbolised the return to his relentless fight.

Once he posted the 'back to reality' snippet, there was a surge of love and support from followers, friends, and even Home and Away co-stars, such as Lynne McGranger.



With messages exuding love, faith, and strength, it was a testament to the rapport Ruffo shares with his colleagues and fans.

Ruffo’s former Home and Away co-star and close friend Lynne McGranger wrote, ‘Looking forward to seeing you guys for dinner very soon.’

Another Home and Away cast member, Georgie Parker, commented, ‘You are incredible darling.’

‘You are amazing.’ Roxy Jacenko said.

‘You got this!!!’ Nadine Terens added.



These sentiments resonate deeply among fans, who've continued to express their admiration for Johnny through words of encouragement and support.

Behind every successful man stands a strong woman, they say, and Tahnee Sims certainly lives up to that adage.

As Ruffo returns to reality, Sims has been his pillar of strength, weathering the storm alongside him, giving us a true testament of unconditional love.

Upon receiving the terminal brain cancer diagnosis, Ruffo turned the setback into a way forward.



He shared, ‘I understand that the cancer is terminal, but you know, I’m going to do everything I can, and I am currently doing everything I can to kick its a***.’

He continues to use his platform to raise awareness about terminal illnesses, encouraging early detection and prevention.

Last year, Ruffo expressed the seriousness of his situation, ‘I feel like s***. I’m always fatigued, just walking up a set of stairs. By the time I get to the top I just want to have a sleep.’

Despite the physical hardship and fatigue caused by the treatments, he's planning to venture back into music and continue to thrill us with acting roles.

‘Just everything that I was doing before… Everything was just going in the right direction for me, so I kind of want to take up where I left off.’ he stated.

Importance of Early Detection and Screening​

Early detection and screening for cancer can be a life-saving measure for those at risk.

Australia offers national screening programs for breast cancer, bowel cancer, and cervical cancer, inviting eligible individuals to take their tests.

In line with this importance, the Australian Government provides free home test kits to people aged 50–74 for biennial testing, while women aged 25–74 are invited to participate in the new Cervical Screening Program.

Maintaining regular check-ups, booking doctor's appointments when necessary, and staying vigilant for any changes in our bodies are essential steps.
