'Hearing the words took my breath away' - Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts shares joy after being told she's 'free of cancer'

Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts has shared her joy after being told she's 'free of cancer'. Adele, 43, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in October, took to Instagram and Twitter to thank all the medics involved in her care and treatment - describing them as the 'angels amongst us'.

She said: "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. 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.
