Privacy NoticeClara Amfo took a heartfelt moment out of Wednesday’s The One Show to send love to BBC colleague Lauren Laverne, who bravely announced her cancer diagnosis earlier in the day. As the show began detailing the evening’s lineup, Clara turned to the audience and expressed: “We also wanted to send huge, huge love to our dear friend Lauren Laverne, who earlier today shared the news that she’s been diagnosed with cancer.” She continued with a message of hope, stating: “Thankfully, she is expected to make a full recovery which she herself says, just goes to show the importance of getting checked.” Clara urged viewers, saying: “So if you are thinking about it, please don’t put it off,” acknowledging Lauren’s gratitude for the overwhelming support she’s received. Co-host Alex Scott chimed in with additional support: “And everyone here at The One Show is sending their love to you, so get well soon, Lauren and we can’t wait to have you back,” reports Wales Online.

The presenter expressed her heartfelt gratitude, saying: “Firstly to the medical teams who have got me this far with incredible skills and kindness. To my family and friends who have been absolutely extraordinary every step of the way – I am so very grateful and love you so much. “And of course thank you to my colleagues – including those at [Independent Talent Group], [BBC 6 Music], [BBC The One Show], and [Desert Island Discs] for their support – and for giving me the time off that I need to get better.”

She continued with an important message: “I also want to say that if you’re avoiding a test or putting off an appointment to get yourself checked out please, please do it today. Half of us will get cancer at some point, and if you do, finding out asap is everything. Concluding with a personal note, she added: “It’s usually my job to bring the good vibes on air but any you have to spare are very much welcome here. Sending loads of love to anyone in a similar boat, or who has made it back to shore.” The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
