Lorraine: Adele Roberts gives health update
BBC Radio 2 presenter Adele Roberts, 44, has opened up about Prince William’s touching gesture following the disc jockey’s daunting cancer diagnosis.
Adele appeared on ITV’s Lorraine to talk about her recent campaign in the fight against bowel cancer, and updated viewers on her recovery.
The radio presenter was diagnosed with bowel cancer in October 2021 when she was just 42, and has since played a key role in raising awareness about the illness with the campaign “No Butts”.
Adele also revealed that Prince William, 40, has joined the campaign and that he even reached out to the presenter following her diagnosis to offer support.
Speaking on the show, Adele said gleefully: “Yeah he (Prince William) reached out and I couldn’t believe it. You know, I’m sure he’s very busy and got lots of things to do, but that’s just how much he cares about this campaign and people just being aware.”
Adele who is now in remission also gave an update on her general health after Lorraine pointed out how well the DJ looked. She added: “Thank you. Much better than the last time I saw you.”
Which was met with a sad nod from the ITV presenter.
Adele continued: “I’m starting to just get my life back together, and just trying to get a little bit fitter. Going for a little run this weekend, just a little one.”
The radio presenter is, in fact, running the London Marathon to raise awareness for the No Butts campaign, and bowel cancer in general. This year she will be running her third London Marathon – but when Roberts reaches the start line on Sunday, it will be the first time since her bowel cancer diagnosis.

Adele had previously spoken out about her illness and how it has taught her to “love her body”.
In an interview with Women’s Health, the presenter said: “Being diagnosed with cancer has meant I’ve learned to appreciate my body; be grateful that it works; be grateful they found the tumour in time to remove it and be grateful [that modern medicine means I can] have a stoma.
“I feel like I love my body more than ever.”
