She started her speech saying: 'I've been away for a bit, I've been slacking if I'm honest! Just want to thank Arielle Free and Vicky Hawkesworth for being wonderful and looking after the show for me. Taking care of you, our wonderful listeners, because that's what we want.'
She went onto detail how the doctors found the tumour and removed it and that she's back on the mend.
'Full disclosure, we're about to get to know each other very quick. So I've had some time off.
'I recently got diagnosed with bowel cancer but the good news is they found the tumour, I've had surgery, they've taken it away, my body is on the mend and I'm here with you now. And I can't believe it.'

It has only been a month since the former Big Brother star went through surgery, and she paid tribute to her body for being 'incredible' and that she was amazed by the level of care from the NHS.
'Because I was just saying to producer Tom, it's a month since I had my surgery and I've got goosebumps now - just wow.'
'A month on. So I just want to say it's incredible what the body is capable of and it's a huge testament as well to the skill and knowledge and level of care of the NHS, they're amazing I owe them my life, I can't thank them enough.'
