Mark Pilgrim engaged

Meanwhile, as reported by The South African website, Pilgrim proposed to his partner Adrienne Watkins on New Year’s Eve, shortly after he was discharged from hospital, having spent 64 days – during which time he lost almost 15kg – in ICU.

Pilgrim has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, which he revealed in June 2022 had spread to his femur, the base of his spine and lymph nodes.
