BROADCASTER Lauren Laverne is in hospital after being diagnosed with cancer but is hopeful of bouncing back quickly.
The Desert Island Discs host, 46, told fans on Instagram: "Right then, some personal news... I recently had a cancer diagnosis.

She also praised her family and friends who have been "absolutely extraordinary every step of the way".
And she added: "I am so very grateful and love you so much. And of course thank you to my colleagues - including those at @itg-ltd, @bbc6music, @bbctheoneshow and @DesertIslandDiscs for their support and for giving me the time off I need to get better."
