EXCLUSIVE: Former Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts has opened up on her terrifying cancer diagnosis and running her record-breaking London Marathon, less than a year after finishing chemo

‘Cancer has made me a better person,’ says DJ, Dancing On Ice star and marathon runner, Adele Roberts , who calls her stoma “Audrey”, branding her a “cheeky monkey” when she misbehaves.

Since then, Adele has become a campaigner for bowel cancer awareness, and last year became the fastest runner with a stoma bag in the London Marathon, completing it in three hours 30 minutes and 22 seconds – a personal best. “Even though it was hurting, I was always moving forward,” she says. “You have to take it day by day, break it down, concentrate on what’s in front of you. I think having cancer made me very present.”
