Desert Island Discs star Lauren Laverne has revealed she has an chronic but asymptomatic blood and bone marrow disorder, two years on from cancer diagnosis 13:30, 17 Jul 2026 Updated 13:45, 17 Jul 2026 BBC Radio and Desert Island Discs star Lauren Laverne has revealed she as been diagnosed with a disorder that can develop into blood cancer, just years on from her cancer diagnosis. The broadcaster, 48, took to social media on Friday afternoon to reveal the 'personal news' to her followers that while she was feeling OK and didn't need treatment, it was something she wanted to share as it can help other people facing the same thing. "I'm quite a private person by nature but am sharing this as one of the many things I've learned after going through health challenges in recent years is that talking about this stuff helps people. "I've been diagnosed with something called smouldering myeloma (yes that is a weird name and no I've never heard of it either). The Desert Island Discs host was given the ‘all clear’ in November 2024. Sounds more like a drag queen." Her post was immediately met with support from her celebrity pals.
