It came after Gary said in a TV appearance last month that the family was “seeing some improvement” with his son’s condition.

“He’s going OK, he’s got a pretty serious condition but we are seeing some improvement,” he said during a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire special.

“The great thing about Levi is he’s a very determined boy.

“He’s always happy, he gets physio every day.

“He brings so much joy to our lives.”
