00:00You know that we share everything with you on this show, the ups and the downs, so it feels
00:05only right that we get you completely up to speed with what's going on. As you might have seen on
00:11Jamie's socials, he recently had an operation to remove a lesion from his vocal cords and we wanted
00:18to let you know that this biopsy has actually been identified as stage one laryngeal cancer.
00:26Now even though it's been identified as cancer, it is not all bad news. No, the prognosis is very
00:33positive and Jamie has an amazing team who are going to get this sorted. He's going to be okay,
00:38he's hoping to be back with us very soon and you know what Jamie's like as well. Jamie has been on
00:42this show for 20 years, right, he's done this show for a long time. This show is all about feel good,
00:48it's all about having a good time, it's making sure that you go to work or whatever you're doing
00:52in the morning, going there with a smile and he does not want that to change. No, he has told us
00:56that we've got to hold the fort and he has told us that the show must go on and absolutely
01:01that's what we are going to do. We are going to do him proud, him and Sophie and the boys,
