The star spoke to Lorraine Kelly as part of the show’s No Butts campaign which highlights the importance of spotting symptoms of the disease.

Adele has spoken bravely about why she sought medical help and has been having chemotherapy following her diagnosis last October.

Today she told Lorraine she was thankfully nearly done.

She revealed: “I’m so excited to finish, not long to go now. I started my final cycle on Tuesday. It is starting to stack up. My body’s feeling it now, but my spirit is still feeling really good.”

As part of her treatment Adele had a stoma bag fitted which she has hilariously called Audrey.

Talking about her companion, she joked: “She’s very excited I’m on the show and she’s been quite vocal!”

“I live for the weekends. My body might be struggling but you are my radio medicine and keep my spirit high.”
