Lauren Laverne, 46, revealed she is cancer-free on Sunday and would return to presenting BBC’s The One Show on Tuesday.
Lauren revealed in August (pictured) that the cancer had been “detected early and unexpectedly during a screening test” and that she was “expected to make a full recovery.”
“I’ve also been working on some new episodes of #DesertIslandDiscs (airing soon @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds) and hope to return to @BBC6Music in the New Year.”
He continued: I want to say a huge thank you to the brilliant medical teams who looked after me so well, to the thousands of people who sent me such beautiful and encouraging messages, to the friends and acquaintances who took the time to support me afterwards. They themselves are going through cancer,”
“And most of all to my family: my two wonderful children and especially my husband Graeme, who was absolutely extraordinary throughout.”
‘It has been a difficult time but it has taught me a lot about what really matters. I can’t say that I suddenly regretted never having hiked the Inca Trail, other than that I now see more beauty in ordinary things than I could have imagined, and I feel more than ever that the little things in life – the connections that we do and the care we take with each other – those are the really important things.
Before adding: “I have a lot to be grateful and excited about, and that’s thanks to everyone mentioned above.” Much love to anyone going through cancer treatment or supporting a loved one through this process. See you soon and thanks again for the good wishes. Xx’.
At the time, she had written a post on Instagram, saying she was in the hospital, praising the “incredible skill and kindness” of the medical teams who helped her.
He also thanked his colleagues on their respective BBC shows for their “support” and “for giving me the time off I need to improve.”
It is understood he last appeared on BBC1’s The One Show on August 13 and last presented his show 6 Music on August 15.
