She captioned the post: “I did my first radio show this year on chemotherapy. I’ve just finished my last show of 2022, cancer free and with a year full of amazing memories.

“My stoma even got a shout-out from Santa this week (I’ve got receipts – swipe to hear the big man)

“Like, HOW BRILLIANT is that?! Thank you @bbcradio2 and @thisislisten for making that happen. Just WOW… absolutely made my year that…

“I can’t believe it sometimes when my phone shows me what I was doing a year ago today. It blows my mind. Just know that if you’re going through a tough time it can all change just as quickly as it went. Keep the faith.”

Bowel cancer diagnosis

Adele was diagnosed with bowel cancer in October 2021, and started to undergo treatment straight away.

“It’s my sister’s birthday today too,” she continued. “Being able to wish her a happy birthday and being on the R2 this morning is a feeling so good there are no words for it. How is this life?!

“I’m so [bleep]ing lucky. I am so grateful. Believe me, I don’t take anything for granted any more. Age is a privilege. I hope we all get many more trips around the sun.”

“To those who’ve been by my side through everything and to all the wonderful new people who have come into my life. THANK YOU.

“I hope you and your loved ones have an amazing time over the next couple of weeks. Savour every moment & party like there’s no tomorrow.”

She also paid tribute to her fiancée, actress Kate Holderness, adding: “Let’s get home for that Christmas Eve Chip butty I’ve been banging on about all week.”

One wrote: “Made me so happy to hear you on the radio as I drove to the supermarket at 6am this morning!! Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year from a fellow survivor – here’s to 2023.”
