Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts give cancer health update and says stoma bag 'saved my life'

Adele Roberts made a glowing appearance on Loose Women on Wednesday and gave fans a heartwarming health update.

Looking beautiful in a bright pink blazer and a gold chain, Adele joined Christine Lampard, Coleen Nolan, Jane Moore and Janet Street-Porter in the studio for a chat.

The interview comes after Adele shared some unseen side effects of her bowel cancer treatment, which she said has ‘ravaged’ her body.

Speaking about the chemotherapy to the Loose Women ladies, Adele said: "It really affects my skin so I've got layers of skin missing from my hands and my feet as well, I've got dark marks on my tongue."

Janet then asked Adele what the next thing is that she wants to achieve now that she's finished her course of treatment.

"That's a great question. I think the next thing is to hopefully go on holiday, hopefully be on the beach with my little stoma," Adele replied.

Referring to her stoma bag named Audrey, Adele continued: "So to help me recover from the cancer I've got a stoma and I've got a little bag to show you if that's okay?"

Taking the small bag out, she explained: "This is the bag that I where and it sticks on the tummy just like that."

"And is that for life or will you say goodbye to Audrey?" Jane then asked her.

"It will be reversible eventually," Adele replied, before adding: "You know, you saying that makes me feel emotional because she's got me through so much and she's helped save my life and I will be sad when she goes away."

Adele was joined at the ITV studios by her girlfriend Kate Holderness who has constantly been by her side throughout her treatment.

Speaking about Kate during her Loose Women chat, Adele said: "I worry about Kate, I hope that she gets the help and support that she needs.

"I try and be there for her, but yeah it's a big toll on the family isn't it?" she added as Coleen nodded in agreement with her and told her: "It is hard."

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
