BBC Radio 1 presenter Adele Roberts has said she is "so grateful" to have been told she's cancer free, after being diagnosed with the disease towards the end of last year.
The radio host, 43, has provided updates on her health since announcing that she had been diagnosed with the bowel cancer on social media in October last year.
The latest update saw Adele reveal that she is now cancer free, with her telling fans in the post on Instagram that the admission by her doctor had taken her breath away.
She wrote alongside two photos: "The day I've been waiting for. Hearing the words 'you're free of cancer' absolutely took my breath away. I keep replaying it in my mind."
"It was the most beautiful sound I think I've ever heard. Even though I was praying Dr Khan would say that to me I don't think my head let me believe it until I heard it," she added.
Adele said: "Everything we've been through seems to be swirling around in my body and life feels a bit surreal at the moment … but I am so grateful. I am counting my blessings.
"I'm also in awe of anyone dealing with cancer. The courage, the strength, the determination and at times, the humour you have shown has been nothing short of super human."
The I'm a Celebrity alum said that fellow cancer patients had "inspired" her and given her "the fire to never give up." She described them in the post as being "warriors".
She said that their strength has kept her going, saying that sometimes it took all she had "just to get out of bed and face the day," with Adele then adding: "But I still did it.
"Every day I made sure I did something to do a huge f*** you to cancer. It's taken too many of us. I didn't know what fate had in store for me but I knew I'd never stop trying."
Adele thanked her family, friends and supporters. She noted that people had sent love and positive thoughts, adding: "You've kept me going and helped me slay this beast."
She recalled that her doctor had warned that the mind can "go to dark places" when dealing with cancer, but Adele said that it was the one thing she knew she had control over.
"My body might have been dying - it's still so sore now - but there was no way I was letting it destroy my spirit. If anything it's made me happier than I've ever been," she explained.
She said that "going through the darkness has given [her] the light," with the experience having transformed her. She added that "it's time now for [her] to start really living."
Adele - whose treatment included chemotherapy - further wrote: "Thank you to Dr Khan, his team and the whole of the NHS. You are angels among us. Thank you for saving my life."
And thanking her partner Kate Holderness, 38, she said: "The reason I had the strength to get out of bed every morning. I will never leave you and I will always find you. In this life and the next."
