The Desert Island Discs host says she is in hospital receiving treatment
BBC presenter Lauren Laverne has revealed she is undergoing treatment for cancer in an Instagram post. The star, 46, who presents Desert Island Discs on Radio 4 and has been a regular DJ on BBC channels for many years, thanked her doctors and family as she explained what had happened. Laverne, 46, who shot to fame as a member of pop group Kenickie in the 1990s, wrote to her 250,000 followers: 'Right then, some personal news… I recently had a cancer diagnosis.
And of course thank you to my colleagues - including those at @itg_ltd , @bbc6music , @bbctheoneshow and #DesertIslandDiscs for their support - and for giving me the time off that I need to get better. 'I also want to say that if you’re avoiding a test or putting off an appointment to get yourself checked out please, please do it today. Half of us will get cancer at some point, and if you do, finding out asap is everything.
