Lauren Laverne has given fans a positive update after undergoing cancer treatment.
The radio presenter, who hosts BBC Radio 6 Music's breakfast show and Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, shared her diagnosis earlier this year, saying she was expected to make "a full recovery".
Now taking to Instagram, Laverne announced she was given the "all clear" and would appear on The One Show this week. She also explained she would return to BBC Radio 6 Music "in the new year" and has been working on new episodes of Desert Island Discs.

"Just a quick update from me to say that after taking some time off to get better I've had the all clear and will be back to work on your TV this Tuesday (November 26) with the wonderful @bbctheoneshow team," she said.
"I want to say a huge thank you to the brilliant medical teams who took such great care of me, to the thousands of people who sent me such beautiful and encouraging messages, my friends and the acquaintances who took the time to support me after going through cancer themselves," she wrote.

"Most of all to my family: my two astounding kids and especially my husband Graeme, who was absolutely extraordinary throughout," Laverne wrote.
Discussing how receiving a cancer diagnosis has made her realise "what really matters" in life, the broadcaster wrote: "I can't say I suddenly regretted never having hiked the Inca Trail, more that I now see more beauty in ordinary things than I could have imagined, and feel more than ever that the small things in life - the connections we make and care we take with each other - are the big things really."
