Episode Details

Lauren Laverne, the beloved BBC Radio 6 Music host and Desert Island Discs presenter, has revealed she’s been diagnosed with smouldering myeloma — a blood and bone marrow disorder — just two years after beating cancer. While separate from her previous illness and currently low-risk, the diagnosis means a weaker immune system and ongoing monitoring. Caught early during routine post-cancer checks, she’s taking a short break before returning to work, drawing strength from past resilience. Blood Cancer UK is using her story to remind others they’re not alone — early detection and support matter.
