Lauren Laverne reveals it's 'fantastic' to be back as she returns to BBC Radio 6 following her cancer diagnosis


Lauren Laverne returned to BBC Radio 6 for the first time since revealing her cancer diagnosis last year.

In January, Lauren, who hosts BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs along with regular stints on The One Show, shared she would be stepping back from her early morning slot. She revealed in November that she had been given the 'all clear' - taking to Instagram to share the news alongside a beaming selfie in which she proudly wore a jumper which read: 'Life is beautiful.' Lauren began recording episodes of Desert Island Discs in November after being absent from the studios for about three months, with recent guests including ex-England football manager Gareth Southgate and US popstar Cher.
