The Heart Radio DJ, 54, received three operations after receiving a diagnosis for aggressive laryngeal cancer last year.

Jamie Theakston has opened up tearfully about his battle with laryngeal cancer in an emotional conversation with Davina McCall. The Heart Radio DJ, 54, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease last September, after initially dismissing his symptoms as merely a sore throat.

Thankfully, Jamie is now cancer-free, having undergone multiple surgeries to remove a malignant lesion from his vocal cords. Yet, in a new episode of the Begin Again podcast, he emphasised just how shocking this ordeal was against the backdrop of exciting holiday plans with his family.

He said, looking for the right words: “So, when I got my cancer diagnosis, it came as such a huge shock to me because it was so surprising, like there was no… it just came as such a broadside because… so, I’d had this sore throat for a while, and we were about to go on holiday.

We’re departing from Japan, and we’re going there. My wife advised us to go see someone before we depart for Japan, just to get some antibiotics to clear up our throat, which is exactly what I believe we were supposed to do that day. “

Jamie immediately went to a doctor who, despite being “lovely,” had the worst bedside manner of any doctor he’d ever met. He immediately identified his throat as being “probably cancer” and performed a number of tests and scans on Jamie.

The radio DJ then planned a few hours of vacation while awaiting these exam results. He kept it a secret for two weeks, but he still felt he couldn’t tell his family what was actually happening.

He continued, “I didn’t tell anyone.” “… I pondered whether it might not be cancer at that time. There is no purpose to say that, in fact. “

After receiving biopsy results, Jamie was informed that he did indeed have early-stage cancer. He left his wife Sophie Siegle’s expression of disbelief, who was also utterly devastated.

Jamie continued, “My mother had passed away from cancer about a year earlier,” with tears in his eyes. And so, when my youngest son, who had just learned my mother had passed away from cancer, was with me. And so I told him that everything would work out just fine and that there was nothing to worry about, which was the hardest part. “

At the Princess Grace Hospital in Central London, Jamie was diagnosed and given an operation. Initial evaluations indicated this was a successful procedure, but later confirmed that the cancer had not completely been removed.

The 54-year-old DJ had a second procedure, but his voice was hampered by scar tissue that had spread over his vocal cords. Jamie needed a third operation because of this, even though doctors claimed they were “dangerously close” to him never being able to speak again.

He stated, “We’re now dangerously close to you not being able to talk,” which is novel because it had now gone from being that I should be able to live with.

“I was like, wow, I hadn’t really factored that into the whole equation.” Fortunately, Jamie’s voice is still intact, and he made a triumphant return to Heart Radio Breakfast, which he hosts with Amanda Holden, in January.

He declared to the audience: “Today is the four-month anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. So it’s been four months, and I’ve had enough hospital stays and operations. It’s lovely to be back and I’ve got some news.

In addition to being a victim of prostitution, Digby, 55, is currently facing a number of serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ high-profile trial continued on Thursday with bombshell claims made by Scott Mescudi – better known as Kid Cudi. The Just What I Am rapper, who dated Cassie Ventura in 2011, took to the stand on May 22, with dramatic photos of his burned car being shown to the jury.

Disgraced music mogul Diddy, 55, is currently facing a number of serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex ­trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arrested in September and strongly denies all allegations made against him. He has been in prison since his arrest, and a number of bail requests have been rejected.

The defendants’ attorneys have been demonstrating their testimony ever since the trial started, including Diddy’s former assistant, David James, Homeland Security Investigations special agent Gerard Gannon, and Cassie Ventura’s mother, Regina Ventura. So far, among those who testified were Cassie’s former friends Kerry Morgan and Mylah Morales, a former Diddy and Cassie makeup artist.

The trial on Thursday continued after Homeland Security Investigations special agent Gerard Gannon returned to the stand on Wednesday to speak about the raid on the disgraced rapper’s home. During his testimony, Gannon said he was responsible for the overall planning of the raid on the rapper’s home in Miami, Florida, in March of last year.

On Thursday, the trial resumed with Diddy’s former assistant George Kaplan returning to the stand. Following that, Kid Cudi appeared on the witness stand.

Here are the biggest bombshells from Thursday…

Kaplan “saw” Diddy abusing Cassie once.

George Kaplan claimed he was given a bag of cash, which he was told was worth $50, 000 (£37, 200), by the rapper’s security staff. He added that a Western Union office asked him to pick up thousands of dollars on numerous occasions.

He added that he only witnessed Diddy acting abusive toward Cassie once on his private plane in Las Vegas in 2015. He told the court he heard glass breaking behind him and turned to see Combs standing with a whiskey glass in his hand. Cassie allegedly screamed, “Isn’t anyone seeing this, anyone? ” after the glass crashed.

He claimed that neither he nor Bad Boy management or security personnel responded to Cassie’s request for assistance. When asked why he didn’t respond to Cassie’s plea, he said it was because he was 23 years old at the time and was working at his dream job.

He said, “I couldn’t believe my good fortune to work for such an icon.” He claimed that as Combs stood over Cassie at the back of the jet, he audibly heard more glass break. The rapper then allegedly told Cassie to stay in the back.

Kaplan claimed Cassie wasn’t seen by anyone on the plane during the check-in.

According to Kaplan, Diddy allegedly threw apples at his ex-girlfriend.

The former assistant claimed he witnessed the rapper throwing green apples at another girlfriend, Gina, when they had been together at his home in Florida.

He was very upset, the former assistant said. She used her arms to defend herself. He added: “I thought it might be normal, and this is what I might expect if I wanted to have a career in this industry. I was a young man trying all of that.”

After Diddy’s “Cassie attack,” Kaplan left.

He claimed that after Diddy allegedly attacked Cassie on the plane, he made his decision to quit. He claimed he gave his two-month notice after seeing Cassie with a black eye in a bedroom. He claimed the rapper and producer sent him out to buy anti-inflammatory medicine to treat the injury.

Kaplan also explained to Diddy that his father had been diagnosed with prostate cancer when he made the decision to stop. He continued to give credit to Diddy for teaching him about work ethics.

He said: “I had been a fan of his since I was a child. I still learn from him today.

Kid Cudi claims that “Diddy broke into my home.”

Kid Cudi, who had dated Cassie in 2011, soon made the claim that Diddy broke into his home after learning about his romance with Cassie.

The Pursuit of Happiness rapper said he went to a West Hollywood hotel with Cassie to get her away from Diddy when Capricorn Clark, Diddy’s assistant, called him.

She allegedly told him that “Sean Combs and an affiliate were in my house and she was in a car and she was forced to go with them over there.”

Cudi recalled calling Diddy while driving to his house. Diddy allegedly calmly responded, “I want to talk to you,” when he inquired about his whereabouts at his home.

Once he got back home, Diddy was said to be gone, but he found his dog locked in a bathroom. He had unwrapped the presents he had given to close friends for Christmas. According to Cudi, he claims to have called Combs, who said he was headed his way. Cudi, confused, then called the police.

Cassie discussed Diddy’s “abuse” with Kid Cudi.

Cassie never disclosed sexual abuse to Cudi, who claimed to have informed him that she had been intimate with him. He added that Diddy never interrupted the time he spent with her.

Cassie first discussed her relationship with Diddy in 2010, according to Cudi during cross-examination.

Kid Cudi, the defense attorney, was questioned by Combs about how he felt about Cassie Ventura because he had fallen in love with her. Kid Cudi responded: “Yes”.

Car of Kid Cudi was allegedly stoked by a “Molotov cocktail.”

The jury was shown pictures of Kid Cudi’s Porsche, which he claimed was burned by a Molotov cocktail. His dog watcher called him in January 2012 to alert him that the car was on fire.

His friend sent him images of the car in the driveway while he was 45 minutes away at the time. Kid Cudi described the photo as “the damage of the Molotov cocktail in my Porsche”. The Molotov cocktail was placed in my Porsche after it appears to have cut open the top.

The rapper claimed that the car couldn’t be salvaged, and that the driver’s seat was discovered with a Molotov cocktail. Once he arrived home, “it was kind of just burnt up” on the ground near the vehicle.

Kid Cudi responded, “What the f**k? ” when asked what the incident was. After the fire, he claimed to have reached out to Diddy and “finally told him that we needed to meet up and talk,” Kid Cudi testified.

“He had been wanting to talk to me, so after the fire, I was like, this is getting out of hand, I need to talk to him”, Kid Cudi said.

He met with Combs, who was by himself, after the incident. According to him, “Combs was standing there staring out the window with his hands behind his back, like a Marvel supervillain.”

The two talked about Kid Cudi’s relationship with Cassie from start to finish, he testified. Combs denied any involvement when Kid Cudi inquired about the car’s damage, he said on the witness.

The pair ran into each other at a club in 2015. Combs allegedly pulled Kid Cudi aside to apologise, the musician testified. He claimed to have “found peace” with the circumstances afterward.

Makeup artist didn’t call the police after seeing injuries on Cassie.

Mylah Morales, Diddy and Cassie’s former makeup artist, appeared on the camera following Kid Cudi. She claimed she witnessed Cassie at the 2010 Grammy Awards with injuries on her face.

After a party at Prince’s house, Morales and Cassie went to a hotel room. Morales testified that Diddy later entered the room and inquired about Cassie’s location. She claimed that Combs knocked on Cassie’s door and entered the room. Morales said she heard yelling and screaming.

Morales remarked, “I was just frantic and unsure of what to do.” Cassie was “distraught” when Combs stormed out, she continued. “She had a swollen eye and a busted lip and knots on her head”.

Cassie was taken to her home so that she could spend a few days recovering. She revealed that after the incident, a doctor friend checked Cassie. When they recommended she got to the hospital, Cassie refused and they did not call the police.

Morales claimed she feared Combs and feared for her life, so she avoided calling the police.

Jamie pays tribute to his “sweetheart” brother tomorrow as the Hollyoaks favorite’s celebrity pals gather for a charity game in his name.

Paul Danan’s brother has opened up about the huge void the star has left in his life – and how he plans to keep the actor’s name alive in his memory. Hollyoaks star Paul passed away in January aged 46 after struggling with addiction for decades. The opening of his inquest found he’d died from a cocktail of drugs.

A larger than life character, he left his mark on the telly world, on the Channel 4 soap as Sol Patrick as well ITV’s Celebrity Love Island and Celebrity Big Brother in 2017. Jamie, Paul’s big brother, paid tribute to his “sweetheart” brother, as he gets ready to honour him at a charity football match this weekend organised by Fattys Bar in Essex. “He was a sweet, lovely guy,” said Jamie. “He drove me mad sometimes but I loved him so much.

He was merely a genuine sweetheart. Between us, less than two years passed. It’s kind of like losing my twin. It is still untreated. I won’t lie, I’m genuinely very broken by this. It’s just surreal. “

Paul died at his Bristol home after taking a mixture of drugs including cocaine and heroin. A full inquest into his death starts on Wednesday.

With his family and friends still coming to terms with his death, Jamie hopes the football match, renamed The Paul Danan Memorial Charity Cup, with give them the chance to share some heartwarming stories about the much-loved star. Pals like Loose Women favourite Linda Robson and Boyzone star Shane Lynch will be there to lend their support.

He was a funny person, according to music PR boss Jamie, 48, who told “we’ve got so many funny stories about him.” People will be sharing their anecdotes and all uniting over our love of Paul. “

Sharing one of his own favourite stories about his “charming” brother, Jamie recalled a hilarious encounter with the Oasis brothers on a flight from LA to the UK, which saw them have a “banter-off”.

“We’d been to Coachella and Paul being Paul managed to sort of get us upgraded to first class on the way back,” remembered Jamie. “Unbeknownst to us was the Oasis boys were in first class, and we’d seen them the night before headlining the festival.

“We were just chatting music. Liam pipes up, and Noel, and me and Paul… So it was like the Danans with the Gallaghers, getting into a little bit of a banter off. It was north meets south. We were being a bit loud and brash in first class. They knew Paul. It was good fun. Something mad like that would always happen with Paul.”

Jamie says he could always depend on Paul for a great time. Every year the pair would go to Wimbledon, with “King of the blag” Paul even trying his luck to play in the prestigious tennis tournament.

Jamie chuckled, “Paul being Paul, he used to go off and find the Lawn Tennis Association office.” He would go up and say, “I need to know my ranking, I’m semi-pro,” because he had joined a club. He be like ‘ What time am I playing on court one? ‘

He simply was insane. I can’t recall some of the blagging techniques used, including how most things were front row. He was the King of the blag. Simply put, being with him was always very exciting. It will be very disappointing not to travel with him this year because I’ll be doing it again.

Recalling one of the last night’s out they shared together, the brothers danced the night away to Paul’s favourite band, The Prodigy, just weeks before his death. In December they went to see them a Brixton Academy and Jamie said he was on top form.

“Recalls Jamie,” “I had probably my best night out with him.” He was totally clean. He and Prodigy’s Liam were very close. In some ways, he resembled an honorary member. They always used to let him go to like side the stage and just hang out. He adored that band forever.

Jamie holds on to the memories with a heavy heart”. He claims that it was amazing. But sadly, he was unable to keep up his usual routine.

Paul had openly discussed previous issues with drugs, including addictions to cocaine and codeine, which he said he used to” self-soothe “after losing acting parts in his 20s while in the US. He added that, over the years, he’s spent more than £1 million on rehab.

After years of sobriety and being clean, by Christmas, Paul was taking drugs again, much to Jamie’s dismay. “I had a little go at him, like a big brother would do,” admits Jamie. “It’s frustrating, but it is how it is. I thought that he’d bounce back again, as he always tended to. But it just wasn’t to be this time, unfortunately.”

Jamie recalls their early years together, and he feels both saddened by his brother’s inability to overcome his demons. He relied on drink and drugs because he was troubled and under the circumstances, he said. That pressure was just taken off him in the end. He was undoubtedly not dying. Sadly, it was just whatever that actually happened.

“His greatest feeling is nothing more than love and joy,” he said. However, some suffering and pain were felt. I think anyone with addiction in the family will comprehend that. There was always a chance that he would succeed in it and to recover. He undoubtedly wanted to. You know, that illness is very powerful. And ultimately, it ultimately came to be worse for him.

Jamie has been blown away by the love and support that Paul has received since his passing and the amazing tales that people have of Paul’s kindness. One in particular struck him, the impact Paul had on a former addict who attended his drama class.

He launched a drama workshop called Morning After Drama in 2020, which expanded from online classes during the pandemic to workshops for adults who have issues with mental health or addiction, as well as those who have experienced trauma or been imprisoned or who have gone through trauma.

Someone who had attended Paul’s funeral approached Jamie and expressed gratitude to him for his assistance. He explained how he was really at death’s door, his illness and addiction was horrific, “recounted Jamie”. No one could save him from the funk he was in. until he ended up attending Paul’s class. Somehow Paul connected with him. Through these improvisational methods that Paul was employing, this man has been able to gain confidence.

Jamie says he’s now leading Paul’s classes in Weston-Super-Mare”. He “went on,” “he’s been determined to keep it alive and moving.” He basically maintains Paul’s memory alive, using Paul’s unique method of studying and training, which combines a form of recovery and rehabilitation with acting and drama. There’s still a little flame of it going. “

Jamie is in discussions for a project to carry on the actor’s legacy in addition to raising vital funds with The Paul Danan Memorial Charity Cup for the Little Havens Children’s Hospice. He also had a really, really strong “teased Jamie” idea for a TV show that he had. We might be able to do something with that eventually. Some famous people said, “If you get that off the ground, I’d be part of that. For Paul. We loved him’. It would be very cool because it’s sort of a semi-autobiographical.

There are “a few things in the pipeline” to carry on his legacy.

Saturday’s Paul Danan Memorial Charity Cup takes place at Bowers &amp, Pitsea FC Crown Avenue in Basildon. Kick off at 3 p.m. (Gates are open at 1:30 p.m.). After Party is at Fattys Bar 20 High Street Essex from 6pm. Tickets are available here.

James Argent took to the stage to perform weeks after being arrested for domestic violence against his girlfriend, Nicoline Arturrson, at Elliott Wright’s restaurant in Marbella

Mark Wright’s cousin Elliott referred to the ‘trials and tribulations’ he went through with James ‘Arg’ Argent as the former TOWIE star took to the stage weeks after his domestic violence arrest.

“Never gonna make you cry… Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you,” crooned Argent as he shamelessly returned to the stage with a medley of gushing love songs after being arrested for domestic violence against his model girlfriend.

The disgraced TOWIE star sang a slew of romantic hits, danced with hen parties and spoke about his Towie past as he took to the stage at Olivia’s La Cala restaurant in Marbella, owned by Elliott, just days after girlfriend Nicoline Artursson’s catalogue of injuries were revealed in full.

Argent had been arrested by Spanish police on May 5 after former an incident at the home they were sharing when a row turned violent. After accepting a plea bargain Argent avoided a jail sentence, and on Thursday night returned to the same Spanish resort the incident took place in to entertain diners.

Performing at the restaurant owned by Mark Wright’s cousin Elliott, a newly-single Arg belted out a slew of gushing love songs from Madness’ It Must be Love to the Temptations classic My Girl.

“This is party season, it’s party time,” began the TV regular as he started his set. He later asked the crowd: “I don’t suppose any of you lot have seen a little show called The Only Way is Essex before?”

When approached by the Mirror if he had any words for girlfriend Nicoline, Argent replied that he could not talk about the incident.

However, his former ITV cast-mate Elliott did appear to allude to the recent controversy as he introduced Arg to the stage.

“He’s been there for me like a rock. And that’s what friendship is. That’s how I’ve been brought up. We stand strong together no matter what happens,” said Elliott.

“We’ve been through so much, trials and tribulations. When this place got burned down he was there for me through and through” said Elliott, referring to the 2021 blaze that completely gutted his beachside haunt, that has become known for entertainment nights where reality stars mingle with regular punters on the dancefloor.

Sharing his support, Elliott continued: “And I just want to say that I love you. You’re one of my best friends. Now get up here and let’s have a proper party tonight,” he urged Argent, who was waiting in the wings, microphone in hand, before the pair shared an embrace.

Earlier in the night, Elliott had been one of the first to welcome Argent as he nervously arrived at the restaurant looking sombre and dressed in head to toe black.

After smiling and posing for photos on the terrace overlooking the sea front, Argent’s mood appeared to lighten as he headed inside and positioned himself at the top table amongst Elliott’s Wright friends and family including his wife Sadie.

Kicking off his 30 minute set, he asked the crowd: “Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Olivia’s La Cala. Are you up for a party tonight or what?”

Bringing the performance to a close as the evening drew on, Argent appeared emotional as he thanked the crowd: “It means the world to me thank you for your support.”

The musical prodigy that produced some of The Carpenters’ most beloved tunes, Roger Nichols, has passed away at the age of 84.

His death was on May 17, but it has only just become known and the cause of death has not yet been revealed. His fellow songwriter, Paul Williams, posted a heartfelt tribute to Paul Williams on Instagram.

It’s hard to say goodbye, which is the first song that Roger Nichols and I wrote. Sadly, we hit the nail on the head. Roger Nichols, his wife Terry, his daughters Claire and Caitlin, and he and his beautiful family, who were so proud of, passed away peacefully four days ago at home with them. They fulfilled his dream. He shared “his greatest joy.”

In a statement made by Roger’s daughter, Claire, she also praised her father on Instagram, saying: “My mom, Terri, and my sisters, Caroline and Caitlin, are all so proud of the man he was and are in awe of the legacy he leaves behind.”

As they deal with the news, fans have been eliciting tributes from around the world. We’ve only just begun, and I won’t last a day, according to Rainy Days and Mondays. Your partnership forever had a lasting impact. One of the most extraordinary circumstancies in human history, immortality through art, can be found in men like he and you. He’ll live in some way each time one of your records turns in. Love and gratitude are the words of one fan, “all souls las forever (I’ve heard it somewhere).

“My condolences! Roger should have received more recognition for his efforts, but I didn’t feel that way. Because their songs are performed by well-known singers and bands, there are far too many songwriters out there that the general public is unaware of. I frequently find myself smiling when I have a few records with the names “Roger Nichols-Paul Williams.” Another shared, “Thoughts and prayers to Roger and his family/friends.”

“This is not the news I wanted to hear,” I said. I’ve known Roger for a long time and you two have always been one of the best songwriting teams.

Another person expressed their sadness by saying, “Very sad to hear this news.” I genuinely enjoyed Roger’s. Mercy and Love. We’ve Only Just Begun, one of his most well-known songs, was just a jingle for a Crocker Bank advertisement. After a bank exec discovered Roger’s album, the songwriting duo Roger and Paul were given the task of writing the song, which was completed just before the deadline.

After hearing the song on television, Richard Carpenter realized how good it was. His band, The Carpenters, followed that song, which became so popular in 1970 that it went on to make their own version.

The song received a Grammy Award nomination for Song of the Year, made it onto BMI’s million performances, and earned the title of “a million sales in sheet music.” &nbsp,
