The Hot102.7fm radio DJ took to social media on Friday to share with his Twitter and Instagram followers that he was spending five hours undergoing a blood transfusion.

The 53-year-old, who previously worked at 5FM, 94.7 Highveld Stereo, 94.5 Kfm and Hot91, added that he was ‘really grateful’ to those who donate blood every day.

Pilgrim wrote: “Spending 5 hours in the chair today for a blood transfusion. Like the bionic man… “we will build him better, stronger, faster…”. ☺️

“Really grateful to the anonymous people who everyday donate blood. 🙏🏻✨”

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.
