Lauren Laverne has opened up about the emotional toll her cancer battle took on her in her first interview and photoshoot with Good Housekeeping.

Speaking to the publication about the relief she and her beloved husband Graeme felt when they received the good news that she is now cancer-free, Lauren said: 'I think it’s only when the storm passes that you realise what you’d been holding in.' In August 2024, Lauren shared the news of her cancer diagnosis on Instagram, revealing it had thankfully been caught early during a screening test, and she was expected to 'make a full recovery.' In January, Lauren, who hosts BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs and makes regular appearances on The One Show, shared that she would be stepping back from her early morning slot.
