“Love to Merlin,” said a third. “Lovely seeing you both.”
Earlier this week Merlin shared a light-hearted snap with Fred from the set of First Dates.
In the picture the pair can be seen smiling at the camera as Fred shows off a rather snazzy pair of socks.
It prompted Merlin to admit he needed to “up” his “sock game”.
What has Merlin said about his cancer battle?
Merlin revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer last month, after first feeling ill back in June.
Speaking about telling his pal, Merlin said Fred had been “lovely and encouraging” when he heard the news.
Merlin now faces a year of treatment, with doctors telling him there’s a 75% chance he will live beyond five years.
He also opened up about telling his young daughter Alix about his diagnosis.
Merlin said: “She understands that people can die but I told her cancer comes in different varieties and in different ways too – and that many people come through it.”
