Biographie
Lavender was first married to actress Sue Kerchiss. He married his second wife, the American Miki Hardy, three years his senior, six days after his bladder cancer was diagnosed in 1993. Lavender said "We had been living together for 16 years and it was something I should have done a long time before, these things change you, they help you to see what is important in life." The bladder tumour was operated on successfully, and though Lavender has regular check-ups, doctors are confident the cancer will not return. Lavender also survived a heart attack in the summer of 2004.
He is a lifelong supporter of Aston Villa, and when filming began on Dad's Army, he was allowed to choose Frank Pike's scarf from an array in the BBC wardrobe. He chose a claret and blue scarf - Aston Villa's colours.On 22nd of June 2015 he was awarded a star on The Birmingham Walk Of Stars.
