Lauren, 46, shocked fans back in August when she shared an emotional message revealing she was battling cancer.

She said: “I recently had a cancer diagnosis. It was (thank God) caught early and unexpectedly during a screening test and I am expected to make a full recovery.”

And after taking off three months to focus on her health, the BBC have revealed she will be back at work later this month.

“We’re delighted to welcome Lauren back to the studio this month for The One Show and Desert Island Discs, with new episodes airing on Radio 4 from 1 December, and we look forward to welcoming Lauren back to BBC Radio 6 Music in the new year,” a BBC spokesperson stated.
