Heart Radio presenter Jamie Theakston was diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer in September 2024.
Heart Radio presenter Jamie Theakston issued a major update after undergoing laryngeal cancer treatment and returning to work in January.
While he was undergoing treatment, the 54-year-old stepped away from hosting the radio show he shares with Amanda Holden.
The diagnosis came after listeners noticed a change in his voice, and although he is now “cancer-free,” Jamie will have to have check-ups every month.
After his initial procedure successfully removed the lesion, biopsies could not confirm with complete certainty that all cancer cells had been eliminated.
While he is free from the disease now, with the odds of it returning “very low”, Jamie is required to see his surgeon every month.

The presenter told The Times about the possibility of him losing his voice after having three surgeries.
Jamie shared: “We found that during the healing process, some scar tissue was touching the other vocal cord. So I had to go back and have a third surgery.
“We were happy that the cancer was clear but to allow my voice to operate, they had to remove the scar tissue, which unfortunately had formed in a place where we didn’t want it forming.”
After doctors warned that he could lose his voice forever, Jamie admitted the precaution came as an “enormous shock.”
“I’ve had ‘scan-anxiety’ – everyone who has been through what I’ve been through will know you just get a barrage of statistics,” adding: “There’s a one in ten chance you won’t survive it, and you kind of go ‘Oh, OK’ I’ll take that.”

Jamie continued: “I had to do several surgeries, and the first surgery wasn’t as successful as we hoped.
“Then there was a second surgery, and then a third, and each time I was doing more and more damage to my vocal chords.”
He added: “By the third one they said, well you’ve got a one in six chance that you might not be able to talk again.
“I thought, OK, that’s like rolling a dice, I’ll take that, It’s just statistics after statistics.”
