Adele Roberts admitted she was undergoing chemotherapy during her appearance on Celebrity Bake Off.
The 44-year-old BBC Radio presenter baked alongside David Morrissey, Lucy Beaumont and Tom Daley during the series’s Stand Up 2 Cancer special.
On Sunday night she competed to win the coveted best baker apron on the show but narrowly lost out to David.
However she did reveal when replying to a tweet that she was in fact having chemotherapy while filming the programme.
The star was diagnosed with stage two bowel cancer in October 2021 and got the call she was cancer free from doctors in June of last year.
Adele revealed that she needed to have an ice machine nearby while baking up a storm in the tent and struggled to remember a lot of her experience from the time.
Reacting to a tweet from a fan that praised her for her participation in the show, she responded with her shocking revelation: ‘Thank you so much Ryan! I was actually on chemo in the tent.
‘I was overheating most of the time. I had an ice machine to keep me cool.’
‘I also can’t remember most of this. I know I had an amazing day… but watching it back now is so special’.
The former Big Brother contestant previously opened up about her diagnosis and her initial reluctance to get her symptoms checked.
She said at the time: ‘It took me a while to pluck up the courage to call my GP at first. My symptoms seemed like things I could explain away.
‘I didn’t want to be a burden to the NHS and I was embarrassed. I shouldn’t have worried.
‘My GP took my concerns seriously, put me at ease and also offered me a home-testing kit. This meant I was able to do the test in the comfort of my own home.
‘Soon after I was diagnosed with stage 2 bowel cancer, which was very nearly developing into stage 3. Getting the help I needed in time helped save my life.
‘If you’re worried please speak to someone, early detection saves lives and it helped save mine.’
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer returns to Channel 4 later this year.
