Jamie Theakston, a 53-year-old presenter, has been diagnosed with stage 1 laryngeal cancer after undergoing surgery to remove a lesion from his vocal cords. He shared the news on Instagram, stating, 'I have cancer, but cancer doesn't have me,' and expressed optimism for a positive prognosis. Amanda Holden credited her co-star Davina McCall for encouraging Jamie to seek medical attention after he experienced vocal issues following a bear hug from Davina during her guest appearance on Heart Breakfast. Amanda humorously noted that this bear hug led to Jamie's throat problems, which prompted him to visit the doctor. Ultimately, the doctor identified the lesion, which has since been removed, and Jamie is expected to return to work by October. Both Amanda and Davina have expressed their support for Jamie during this challenging time.
