‘I didn't know if I'd be here' says Jamie Theakston in heartbreaking confession after cancer battle
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JAMIE Theakston has made a heartbreaking confession following his tough cancer battle. The Heart FM star admitted he did not know "if he'd be here" to accept an award on stage at last night's prestigious TRIC Awards. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Jamie Theakston made a heartbreaking confession on stage at the TRIC Awards Credit: PA 4 He faced a gruelling cancer battle last year Credit: Instagram/@thisisheart Jamie shocked his listeners last year when he confirmed in September that he had been diagnosed with Stage 1 laryngeal cancer. The 54-year-old star was prompted to have a check-up at his doctors after some of his listeners raised concerns for a change in his voice. In good news, Jamie was declared cancer-free in January but last night he admitted his fears of if he would ever get better. Having won the award for Best Radio Show for his programme with Amanda Holden, Jamie took to the stage to accept the gong in which he addressed his cancer battle. Speaking to the crowd, he said: 'There have been times in the past 12 months where I haven't known where I was gonna be, never mind on this stage, so I really appreciate it.' He then thanked his co-host Amanda and their daily showbiz reporter, Ashley Roberts, before he made a joke looking to the future. Jamie laughed: 'We last won this 10 years ago so I'll see you in 10 years." The star took a break from hosting duties during his cancer battle last year. The star's initial procedure, performed privately at the Princess Grace Hospital in London, successfully removed his lesion. However, biopsies could not confirm with complete certainty that all cancer cells had been eliminated. Davina McCall breaks down in tears as she is reunited with Jamie Theakston after their health battles While he is free from the disease now, with odds of it returning "very low", he is still under instruction to see his surgeon every month. In a new interview with The Times, Jamie spoke of his "scanxiety", explaining the intervals between appointments will lengthen to three and then six months after a year. He said: "I was given the option of radiotherapy, but we decided that surgery was a better option. I had to go back for a second operation and have more tissue removed. That reset my recovery right back to the beginning. "I was frustrated because I just wanted to get back to work. I remember reading an interview Amanda [Holden] had given saying, 'We hope to have him back by Christmas.' I had thought, way before Christmas! So the second operation put us back a bit. "And then 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.' 4 He hosts the show with Amanda Holden Credit: PA

Jamie Theakston praises Amanda Holden for 'key role' after cancer diagnosis
Heart Radio Breakfast star Jamie Theakston praised Amanda Holden for her 'fantastic' support amid his battle with laryngeal cancer, detailing their close friendship Jamie Theakston says Amanda Holden has been a 'key part' of his recovery following a battle with stage one laryngeal cancer, which he was given the all clear for in January. The Heart Breakfast presenter, 54, scooped up a TRIC Award for his morning radio show with Amanda on Tuesday, and told Mirror at the ceremony: "Amanda has been fantastic, she's been a part of my recovery. So, yeah, it has brought us closer as friends." Jamie was diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer back in September 2024 after listeners noticed a difference in his voice - initially putting it down to a mere sore throat. The broadcaster has since undergone three surgeries and revealed in January that he was cancer free. And giving an update on how he's feeling now, five months after getting the all clear and returning to work, Jamie said: "I'm feeling great, my family are all really great too." Jamie shares children Sidney, 17, and Kit, 16, with his wife of almost two decades Sophie Siegle, with the presenter admitting that his family are all 'relieved' and happy to have him back in healthy form. He has even been left with some life lessons, leaving the health battle with a new outlook, admitted Jamie. "The whole experience has made me worry less in general, that's what it has taught me." While Jamie and Amanda may be tight-knit friends, he revealed that the early morning wake up calls don't always have them on the right side of the bed. "We can be moody sometimes," he laughed. "But we just argue it out on air and then it's fine!" Jamie and Amanda beat out stars such as Rylan for his Saturday BBC Radio 2 show and Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby for their Capital Breakfast Show at the TRIC Awards. Taking to the stage to accept the award during the London ceremony, Jamie got emotional as he admitted the award was extra special. "There has been times in the past 12 months where I haven't known where I was gonna be never mind on this stage so I really appreciate it," he said on stage. Talking backstage afterwards, he added: "I'm made up, I don't normally win awards and it's really, really nice "I personally celebrate my 20th year [on Heart] this year - I was only meant to do two! So I don't quite understand how that happened, but, no, I love it, I love going in every day. It's a great job. Here's to twenty more."
