Heart Radio host Jamie Theakston has been diagnosed with Stage 1 laryngeal cancer following the removal of a lesion from his vocal cords. Theakston, 53, shared the news on Instagram, revealing that fans had noticed a change in his voice which prompted him to seek medical advice. He will be taking a break from his radio show to rest his voice, with co-hosts Amanda Holden and Jason King (JK) holding the fort in his absence. The prognosis is positive, and Theakston hopes to return to the show in October. Amanda Holden expressed her support on social media, emphasizing the strong backing from their colleagues and listeners. Theakston remains optimistic, stating, 'I have cancer but cancer doesn't have me.'
