This is the video clip that led presenter Jamie Theakston to discover he had cancer.

The Heart Breakfast Show host appeared alongside his colleague Zoe Hardman in a video posted to the station’s Instagram account on 22 August.

In the clip, the 53-year-old discusses support for students receiving their GCSE results, but his voice sounds very hoarse

The clip prompted listeners to urge Theakston to get his voice checked out.

In a social media post today (17 September), the radio host told followers he recently underwent an operation to remove a lesion from his vocal cords, but the biopsy identified Stage 1 laryngeal cancer.

He reassured fans: “The prognosis is very positive and I’m hoping to be back with you in October.”
