Earlier in the day, Amanda shared a message of support for her friend shortly after he made his surprising announcement.

Alongside a picture of the couple, she wrote: ‘Our wonderful @jamie.theakston has been diagnosed with stage 1 laryngeal cancer.

“His prognosis is very good and he has an amazing team around him. Jamie. We love you and miss you and hope to see you very soon.

‘With @sophietheakstonjewellery, your beautiful children, us and the entire nation with you… YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS .’

On September 1, Jamie said he had gotten checked out after some listeners noticed something was wrong with his voice.

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 prolonged cough or shortness of breath, a sore throat or persistent earache, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing.

Jamie, who is married to Sophie Siegle, wrote on Instagram: ‘Well some of you listeners have noticed that my voice hasn’t sounded right these past few weeks. I have to thank you.

“I got it checked out. The doctors found a lesion on my vocal cords which they removed this weekend. Thanks for all the kind messages. I’ll be back on my feet soon. In the meantime…” she ended the post with a zipper mouth emoji.

Amanda went on to thank Davina McCall for bringing Jamie through his cancer diagnosis, after she shared her fears that she caused his voice problems.

Following the news of Jamie’s diagnosis, Davina was a guest on Heart Breakfast, where she joked that while standing in for Amanda in June, she feared she had caused her co-star a throat problem by “strangling him with a bear hug”.

After their hug, Jamie began to notice problems with her throat and eventually went to see a doctor when things got worse and worse.

While appearing as a guest on Heart Breakfast, Amanda thanked Davina for urging Jamie to go to the doctor.

Amanda said: ‘We want to thank you because when, the day you left… now Davina is known for her bear hugs.’

Davina told Amanda that when she hosted the Heart Breakfast with Jamie in June, she “strangled” him in a bear hug, and soon after she began noticing his throat problems.

“I’m worried about this,” Davina chimed in.

Amanda continued: “You gave Jamie a huge hug that almost suffocated him. So when I came back, Jamie started to lose his voice and it just got worse and worse.”

Davina, visibly worried, asked: “Did I do this?”

But Amanda assured her that she was not responsible for Jamie’s health problems, saying: ‘He went to the doctor and the doctor said, “This isn’t right, we’re going to look at your throat” and because of you, he went to the doctor in the first place.

‘Then they found a lesion in his throat, which they have since removed and everything is fine.’

The condition is most common in people over the age of 60. It is more common in men than in women.
