It showed him with a bandage on his face, and read: “[Thank you] for taking the cancer out of my face.”

He also joked that the Modern Family hair and makeup team would have to work to cover up the stitches.

The 40-year-old did not disclose any more information about his treatment.

He recently celebrated his second anniversary of marriage with husband Justin Mikita.

Last year, Ferguson denied claims by a Desperate Housewives actor that camp gay characters are “like blackface”.

Tuc Watkins has retracted his claims that stereotypical gay characters are like blackface.

Mr Watkins – who previously played gay character Bob Hunter on Desperate Housewives – laid into Modern Family’s gay dads Mitch and Cam on Facebook.
