Presenter Jamie Theakston has revealed he has cancer.

The Heart Breakfast co-host announced he had been diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer.

In a statement, the 53-year-old said: “Hi Folks, As you know – I recently had an operation to remove a lesion from my vocal cords.

“The biopsy has identified this as stage 1 Laryngeal cancer.

“So – I have cancer – but cancer doesn’t have me.

“The prognosis is very positive and I’m hoping to be back with you in October.

“Until then I’ve been told to give my voice a rest and leave you in the mostly capable hands of JK (Jason King) and Amanda (Holden).

“Big thanks to them and all the Global family who have been unbelievably supportive.”
