Jamie Theakston is cancer-free and will be returning to work on Monday.
In September, the 54-year-old presenter revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 1 laryngeal cancer, and had undergone an operation to remove a lesion from his vocal cords.
Speaking to his Heart Breakfast co-host Amanda Holden and Jason King who has been covering his morning role, Theakston said: “I’ve got some news for you. Because I can tell you that as of today, I’m cancer-free”.
He said doctors had warned him there was a one in six chance that he might never be able to talk again.
Returning to the studio on the four-month anniversary of his cancer diagnosis, Theakston admitted: “I’ve had enough of hospitals and operations, and it’s just lovely to be back.”
The former Live & Kicking presenter has said he first became aware of issues with his throat after fans contacted him to say they’d noticed a change in his voice.
