Jamie Theakston, 54, is overcome with emotion as he shares heart-wrenching call with cancer survivor - following his four-month battle


The radio presenter, 54, announced he had been diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer in October 2024, after listeners had noticed there was something not quite right with his voice.

On Friday Jamie revealed he was cancer free as he made a joyful appearance on Heart FM and told how he would be back full time on Monday. According to the NHS, symptoms of laryngeal cancer include a change in your voice, such as sounding hoarse, pain when swallowing, a lump or swelling in your neck, a long-lasting cough or breathlessness, a persistent sore throat or earache and, in the most severe cases, difficulty breathing. Doctors found a lesion on my vocal chords which I've had removed this weekend - thanks for all the kind messages - should be back on my feet soon - in the meantime...' and finished the post with a zip-up mouth emoji.
