Jamie Theakston has revealed that he has been diagnosed with stage 1 Laryngeal cancer after removing a lesion from his vocal cords.
The Heart radio presenter took to social media to reveal that a biopsy from a recent operation has confirmed that he has cancer.
The 53-year-old said in a post: ‘So… I have cancer…but the cancer doesn’t have me! The prognosis is very positive and I’m hoping to be back with you in October.’
He revealed he’d be stepping down from his radio presenting role at Heart radio until next month.
‘Until then, I’ve been told to give my voice a rest and leave you in the mostly capable hands of JK and Amanda. Huge thanks to them and all the Global Family who have been unbelievably supportive.
‘Be thankful for this fay, and when I see you next, I’ll have a great story to tell…Jamie x’
