The mother of-two did not reveal the type of cancer she had been diagnosed with, but said when announcing it in August that it had been picked up ‘unexpectedly’ during a screening test.

Now in a lengthy statement she paid tribute to hospital staff and her ‘astounding’ sons Fergus, 17, Mack, 14, and ‘absolutely extraordinary’ husband Greame Fisher.

She penned: ‘Well hello there! Just a quick update from me to say that after taking some time off to get better I’ve had the all clear and will be back to work on your TV this Tuesday with the wonderful @bbctheoneshow team’.

‘I’ve also been working on some new #DesertIslandDiscs episodes (which will air soon @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds) and am looking forward to returning to @BBC6Music in the New Year’.

She continued: ‘I want to say a huge thank you to the brilliant medical teams who took such great care of me, to the thousands of people who sent me such beautiful and encouraging messages, the friends and acquaintances who took the time to support me after going through cancer themselves,’

‘And most of all to my family: my two astounding kids and especially my husband Graeme, who was absolutely extraordinary throughout’.

‘It’s been a difficult time but one that has taught me so much about what really matters. I can’t say I suddenly regretted never having hiked the Inca Trail, more that I now see more beauty in ordinary things than I could have imagined, and feel more than ever that the small things in life – the connections we make and care we take with each other – are the big things really’.

Before adding: ‘I have so much to be grateful for and excited about, and that is thanks to everyone mentioned above. Loads of love to anyone going through cancer treatment or supporting a loved one through it. See you soon and thanks again for the well wishes. Xx’.

Breaking the news of her diagnosis back in August, she wrote: ‘Right then, some personal news… 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.

‘I’m in hospital at the moment and wanted to take this moment to say thank you: Firstly to the medical teams who have got me this far with incredible skill and kindness.

‘To my family and friends who have been absolutely extraordinary every step of the way – 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 that I need to get better.’

She went on to urge others that might be ‘avoiding a test or putting off an appointment to get yourself checked out’ to ‘please, please do it today’.

Lauren shared a snap of her get well cards as she thanked fans 

She penned: ‘Well hello there! Just a quick update from me to say that after taking some time off to get better I’ve had the all clear and will be back to work on your TV this Tuesday with the wonderful @bbctheoneshow team’.

It is understood her last appearance on BBC1’s The One Show was on August 13 and she last presented her 6 Music show on 15 August.

Desert Island Discs was on a break at the time she revealed news of her diagnosis, but since the show returned in September it has been airing old episodes.

There will be a new episode of the Radio 4 show on December 1st with comedian Mark Steel, which was already recorded before Lauren took time off.

But it is understood she will be recording Christmas episodes of the show with guests over the next few weeks.

A BBC spokesman said: ‘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.’

Lauren was brought on to Desert Island Discs in 2018 as cover for then host Kirsty Young, who was dealing with her own health issues at the time, before later becoming the permanent host.
