In his emotional statement on his illness, Jamie revealed his stand-in as Jason King – known as JK.

Jamie wrote on social media on Tuesday: “Hi Folks,
“As you know – I recently had an operation to remove a lesion from my vocal cords.
“The biopsy has identified this as stage 1 Laryngeal cancer.
“So – I have cancer – but cancer doesn’t have me.
“The prognosis is very positive and I’m hoping to be back with you in October.”
Revealing his stand-in, he added: “Until then I’ve been told to give my voice a rest and leave you in the mostly capable hands of JK and Amanda.
“Big thanks to them and all the Global family who have been unbelievably supportive.
“Be thankful for this day, and when I next see you, I’ve got a great story to tell … Jamie x”
Jamie’s celebrity pals have been sending out messages of support.
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda told listeners about Jamie’s powerful message to her and her co-star after his diagnosis.
She said: “He has told us that we have got to hold the fort and he has told us that the show must go on and absolutely that’s what we’re going to do.
“We’re going to do him proud.”
Amanda also rushed to social media to share her love and support.
She reshared his post on her story and added: “We love you @jamie_theakston.”
She then wrote on her own Instagram page: “Our wonderful @jamie_theakston has been diagnosed with stage 1 laryngeal cancer.
“His prognosis is very good and he has an incredible team around him.
“Jamie. We love and miss you and look forward to seeing you very soon.”
