Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts shares first cancer symptoms in health update on ITV Lorraine

Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts was praised by fans after sharing a bowel cancer update on ITV's Lorraine.

The 42-year-old presenter announced that she had been diagnosed with bowel cancer back in October last year and was receiving treatment. This included surgery to remove the tumour and more recently chemotherapy, with the Big Brother star having been open about her experience since being diagnosed.

She appeared on ITV's Lorraine on Thursday morning to talk about her diagnosis and the first symptoms she experienced, the Mirror Online reports. April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month and aims to raise awareness of the condition which is the fourth most common cancer in the country with more than 42,000 new cases diagnosed in the UK every year.
