'My special friends': Dr Chris Brown's touching tribute to his Living Room 'family'

Dr Chris Brown, 40, has taken to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute to his cast-mates on The Living Room, which celebrated its 300th episode on Friday.

The Bondi Vet posted a series of photos of himself with his “special friends,” co-stars Amanda Keller, Miguel Maestre and Barry Du Bois.

“Sure it may technically be a lifestyle show, but The Living Room is actually a show about friendship,” he wrote in the caption.

Sharing the love

The TV vet went on to reflect upon the “adventures and beautiful animal encounters” he’s had throughout his time on the long-running lifestyle series, but admitted that he’s “most grateful for the special friends the show has brought me so close to.”

The I’m A Celebrity host concluded be urging fans to “Enjoy tonight!” but warned them about an upcoming musical number.

“And advanced apologies on the singing. You’ll definitely know why when you see/hear/endure it,” he joked.

Fans of Channel 10 staple - which has been on air since 2012 - shared their love in the comments section, with one writing, “Congratulations, brilliant program.”

“Best. The camaraderie is absolutely obvious for us viewers, love it,” said another.

Big day for Baz

Reaching the show’s 300th episode was also a milestone for Barry, who presents the building/renovation segment on the Logie award-winning show.

Baz, who turns 59 on August 4, was diagnosed with plasmacytoma, a cancer of the immune system, after suffering severe neck pain in 2010.

The father-of-two - he shares seven-year-old twins, Bennett and Arabella with wife Leonie Tobler - underwent successful treatment, which involved having a titanium implant in his spine.

Sadly, in 2017, Baz revealed that the cancer had returned as multiple myeloma, which affects the plasma in the bone marrow. He has since undergone further treatment and credits a positive attitude, his family’s support and his fit lifestyle for keeping him healthy.
