Jamie Theakston has revealed he is cancer-free as he makes his return to Heart Breakfast. Jamie was diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer back in September 2024 after listeners noticed a difference in his voice. Speaking on the show today, Jamie confirmed he would be back on the show next week.
As he returned to the programme this morning alongside Amanda Holden and Jason King, he told listeners: "Today is the four-month anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. So it's been four months, and I've had enough of hospitals and operations, and it's just lovely to be back, and I've got some news for you. Because I can tell you that as of today, I'm cancer free.".
Making his return, Jamie opened up about what the last few months had been like for him and his family. "A whole family suffers. As you said, it's not just the individual, and they've been amazingly supportive. Everyone has been so supportive. It's been unbelievable and it's just blown me away. So, I wanted to thank everyone who sent me messages. Every single person I've ever met or known has been in touch. People I've forgotten all about have been in touch," he said.
Jamie recalled how he had been told he had a "one in six chance" of not being able to talk again. He shared: "Anyone who's been through what I've been through will know it's kind of you just get a barrage of statistics. So they’ll always tell you in the first one, when I got my diagnosis which came as an enormous shock, by the way, I was fully intended to be told that I had a sore throat.
