Jamie Theakston reveals he’s cancer free

Jamie Theakston is cancer-free and will be returning to work on Monday morning.

In September, the 54-year-old presenter revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 1 laryngeal cancer.

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.

He’d originally said he hoped to be back after just a month, but said repeated surgeries on his vocal cords had led to complications.
