Mrs C lifted the cup! All my love to all the cancer warriors out there." Navin also showed his support to those currently suffering from the disease and urged others to remember that "Cancer awareness does not end in October." The post was soon flooded with support, with Navin’s co-star, Theo Hawthorne actor William Ellis, writing: "Love and light to you and the family." Fans also shared their love, with one saying: "So happy for Mrs C and your gorgeous family." Navin had been documenting Charlie's breast cancer fight after she was diagnosed in the summer of 2020.

In an Instagram video posted in February of this year, the doting husband showed support as his wife underwent surgery and said: "I just felt this sudden overwhelming urge absolutely compelled just to say, to breast cancer, go f**k yourself." He continued: "My wife was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer back in the summer of 2020 and like so many of you out there it just opens a world that you hope you never see.
