BBC Radio 1: Adele Roberts confirms she will leave station after “incredible” eight years as presenter

The DJ has confirmed she has already presented her final show for BBC Radio 1, which was in May. The presenter has publicly spoken about her bowel cancer diagnosis and treatment in previous years and last June confirmed she was cancer free.

Adele first joined the BBC in 2012 as a presenter on BBC Radio 1Xtra before joining Radio 1 in 2015 as the station’s Early Breakfast show host. The presenter revealed she was undergoing treatment for bowel cancer in October 2021. Adele, 44, has regularly used her social media to talk about her treatment and her stoma - which she has named Audrey.
