Jamie Theakston has revealed he is taking time off work after having surgery on his vocal cords after doctors spotted a lesion which he has since had removed
The broadcaster who presents alongside Amanda Holden told fans he will be off air for some time. It comes after he has struggled with his voice in recent weeks. Jamie, who is often the first voice many hear in the morning told fans that he will be back on his feet in no time but needed time to recuperate following his operation.
Famous pals and colleagues, as well as listeners instantly rushed to the comment section of Jamie's post to share their well wishes. Vicky Pattison typed: "Get well soon petal." Meanwhile, his co-star Amanda Holden added: "We will miss you tomorrow." Richard Bacon commented: "Oh wow, that happened to me once - all the best - I had about 10 days, but I wasn’t allowed to say a word. Quite weird and fascinating experience.
Jamie became a household name as the presenter of Top of the Pops between 1998 and 2003, introducing artists such as the Spice Girls and Oasis during their performances on the BBC show. However, he launched his career aged just 23 in the radio industry. The broadcaster was talent spotted by the former BBC head of sport who roped him in to present Greater London's Radio Saturday Sports Show.
