Lauren Laverne returns to BBC Radio 6 Music after cancer treatment

Lauren Laverne made her highly anticipated return to BBC Radio 6 Music after a six-month hiatus due to her cancer diagnosis. Transitioning from the breakfast show, she has taken over the mid-morning slot, expressing her excitement and gratitude for being back on air. During her first show, she asked listeners to share their 'comeback tunes' and reflected on her absence, stating it felt 'wonderful' to return to a place that feels like home. Laverne, who was given the 'all clear' in November, thanked her friends for their support and shared her nervous excitement about resuming her duties. Nick Grimshaw, who replaced her on the breakfast show, expressed his own apprehension about his new role. This shift marks a new chapter for Laverne after six successful years hosting the breakfast program.
