UK radio presenter Jimmy Thexston has returned to work several months after cancer treatment, and he says he has regular listeners to help save his life.
Theakston is participating in the Heart Breakfast Breakfast show, along with Amanda Holden, and was on the air two decades ago, after a successful television profession.
The Thickston said Times of London That the ordinary listeners were caught with interest, and many of them informed him of a change in his voice on the air, and urged him to examine him medically:
“You are doing for 20 years, and you will get an inflammation of the throat, come and go. But there were two listeners who said:” You really need to examine it. “I think many ways to save my life. Without being very dramatic on this topic.”
With his wife also urged the examination of frequent sore throat, Theakston consults a specialist and was diagnosed with throat cancer, a rare disease that attacked his voice box.
After three surgeries and several months of work, Theakston returned to work in January, to broadcast an audience of 4.2 million. Its radio program is the largest BBC in the UK, with a regular audience of 4.2 million.
In 2019, Heart Radio watered all separate regional radio stations, and instead chose to broadcast Theakston and Holden at the country level. The Thickston said of the local jobs that went with this step The Times: “The blame must be fell hard on the BBC shoulders. The commercial radio does not bear the responsibility for providing local programming. Our responsibility is to obtain numbers to allow the sales team to sell ads.”
