Lauren Laverne has been inundated with messages from fans and a number of her celebrity friends on Instagram on Wednesday after she revealed she has cancer. The One Show presenter and BBC Radio 4 DJ shared the news by uploading a selfie from her hospital bed and said the disease had been caught early. The mother of-two did not reveal the type of cancer she had been diagnosed with but said it had been picked up 'unexpectedly' during a screening test.

The DJ, 46, who presents BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, said it had 'thank God' been caught early. In an Instagram post, Lauren Laverne told fans she was expected to make a 'full recovery' but did not reveal which cancer she had been diagnosed with. NHS screening programmes have long been lauded by experts as a key way to help diagnose cancers earlier. The services are thought to save around 10,000 lives a year, according to research by The Nuffield Trust. Yet, just one is routinely offered to under 50s like Ms Laverne. However, you should be offered others if you are considered high-risk of the disease, for instance due to a family history.

Lauren Laverne 's 20-year marriage to fellow DJ and television producer Graeme Fisher is a love story like something out of a fairy tale. The happy couple first met in the early 2000s while they were both working on a pop television show. Graeme was left smitten and invited Lauren to a gig on Valentine's Day and from there the shoots of their blossoming romance were formed. It was on their first date that Lauren would have her most memorable kiss, telling The Guardian in 2022: 'He invited me to a gig and we both thought other people would come, but nobody did. We realised that it was Valentine's Day and ended up getting together.' As the BBC radio DJ, 46, now battles against cancer having revealed today she has been diagnosed with the disease, it will be Graeme who will be by her side in support as he has been for more than two decades.

Legendary Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler has revealed he got his playing style from strumming a tennis racket as a child. Knopfler, 74, said that he was left-handed, but while he was pretending the racket was the musical instrument in his youth, his older sister turned it round and told him: 'That's the way you play it.'

Rob, 47, and his wife, Leah, sadly lost their son, Henry, in January 2018 and the Catastrophe star decided to write his 2022 book, A Heart That Works, about his grief. The 47-year-old actor described Henry as 'charming and brilliant,' but admitted that 'a lot of things aren't fine' six years after his passing. Speaking about the memoir, Rob said: 'I wrote a book about him because I wanted people to know about him. And I also thought, there's a lot of stuff written about grief that people are kind of like, "but then one day the sun came out again," and I was like, "yeah, enough of that crap."'

David Nicholls admitted he was taken by surprise by the book's success and only realised it was a hit when he saw a newspaper with Spice Girl Geri Halliwell reading a copy on holiday in 2009.

One Day has sold more than six million copies worldwide and found a new generation of fans when the Netflix adaptation went into the top ten in 89 countries.

Alex Jones has joked that if The One Show ever aired her rehearsals she would be 'massively cancelled'.

The West Holts stage, which has capacity for 35,000 people, had to operate a 'one in one out' system to avoid a crush as fans arrived to watch the Sugababes. The English girl group performed at Glastonbury in 2022 on the smaller Avalon Stage which has a capacity of 3,000 - but police restricted entry to the gig to stop more people arriving. Sensibly this year the Sugababes were given an upgrade to the open air stage West Holts, but once again, they proved to be more popular than Glastonbury organisers imagined. Perhaps Glastonbury-goers are looking for a sense of nostalgia in the Sugababe's hits such as Push The Button and Overload?

Brits have flocked to the beach, gone for a swim and flocked to Glastonbury as temperatures hit a scorching 31C peaks in parts of the UK today.

Actress Rebel Wilson today reveals she would now be strong enough to walk away from the alleged 'degrading' treatment she claims she suffered at the hands of Sacha Baron Cohen. The Australian-born star, 44, tells today's edition of Desert Island Discs that she allowed herself to be 'degraded' by the British comedian because she lacked the self-esteem to stand up for herself when they acted together in the 2016 film Grimsby. Wilson - who has said that earlier in her career she was often cast as the 'fat, funny girl' - tells presenter Lauren Laverne: 'That was the worst professional experience and that was where it crossed the line.
