The pair, who present the Heart Breakfast Show together, were in high spirits as their station officially become the UK’s most popular radio brand.

They wrapped their arms around each other as they walked up to their billboard announcing the news in the central of London.

The stunners were also joined by their co-star Jamie Theakston, who looked stylish in a beige shirt and black trousers.

For the first time, Heart has overtaken BBC Radio 2 in terms of weekly reach, with over 13.4 million weekly listeners.

The station now boasts 279,000 more listeners than Radio 2 and a staggering 5.99 million more than Radio 1.

This remarkable performance comes after Jamie returned to the airwaves following treatment for stage one laryngeal cancer.

The radio host, 54, announced he had been diagnosed with the cancer in October 2024, after listeners had noticed there was something not quite right with his voice.

Laryngeal cancer is a type of cancer that affects the larynx (voice box).

After undergoing three life-changing surgeries and being told he had ‘a one in six chance he might not be able to talk again’, Jamie revealed in January that he is free from the disease and is back on the radio full-time.

He said: ‘Today is the four-month anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. So it’s been four months, and I’ve had enough of hospitals and operations, and it’s just lovely to be back, and I’ve got some news for you. Because I can tell you that as of today, I’m cancer free.

‘Anyone who’s been through what I’ve been through will know it’s kind of you just get a barrage of statistics.

‘So they’ll always tell you in the first one, when I got my diagnosis which came as an enormous shock, by the way, I was fully intended to be told that I had a sore throat.

‘And when I was told, “oh, it’s probably cancer”, just, literally, I just didn’t even know what to say. I mean, it just blew my mind. And so then it’s all about statistics. So the first is go, “well, you’ll have a one in ten chance you won’t survive it”.

‘And you kind of go, “oh okay, I’ll take that”. And then I had to do several surgeries. So, the first surgery wasn’t as successful as we hoped. Had a second surgery, and then a third surgery, and each time, I was doing more and more damage to my vocal cords.

‘So, in actual fact, by the third one, they said, “well, look, you’ve got a one in six chance you might not be able to talk again”.

‘And so, then you kind of think, “oh, okay, that’s like rolling a dice”, yeah, I’ll take that. And so, there’s just a kind of, it’s just statistics after statistics.’

Jamie later took to Instagram, writing 'Nice try cancer, but I'm still here! CANCER FREE. Difficult roads can lead to beautiful destinations, and after 3 surgeries and 4 months of vocal therapy, I'm back baby !!'

His Heart FM co-host Amanda Holden said: ‘Well, you should be very buoyed by that because, yes, it was huge news when it all happened.

‘It was devastating for us all to hear it. But we are so thrilled that you sound great and you are in the studio.’

What is throat cancer and how many people does it affect in the UK?

Laryngeal cancer is a type of cancer that affects the larynx (voice box). 

In the UK, there are about 2,400 new cases of laryngeal cancer each year.

The condition is more common in people over the age of 60, and around four times more common in men than women.

The main symptoms include: a change in your voice, such as sounding hoarse, pain or difficulty when swallowing, a lump or swelling in the neck, a long-lasting cough, a persistent sore throat or earache and in severe cases, difficulty breathing.

Some people may also experience bad breath, breathlessness, a high-pitched wheezing noise when breathing, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue.

It is not clear exactly what causes laryngeal cancer, but the risk is increased by smoking tobacco, regularly drinking large amounts of alcohol, a family history of head and neck cancer, an unhealthy diet or exposure to certain chemicals and substances, such as asbestos and coal dust.

Taking to Instagram at the time, Jamie wrote: ‘Nice try cancer, but I’m still here! CANCER FREE. Difficult roads can lead to beautiful destinations, and after 3 surgeries and 4 months of vocal therapy, I’m back baby !! 

‘Come share the love, Heart Breakfast, Monday morning @thisisheart @noholdenback.’

In September 2024, Jamie had said he had got himself checked out after some of listeners had noticed something wasn’t quite right with his voice.

According to the NHS, symptoms of laryngeal cancer include a change in your voice, such as sounding hoarse, pain when swallowing, a lump or swelling in your neck, a long-lasting cough or breathlessness, a persistent sore throat or earache and, in the most severe cases, difficulty breathing.

In the UK, there are more than 2,000 new cases of laryngeal cancer each year. The condition is more common in people over the age of 60, and it’s more common in men than women.

Jamie – who is married to Sophie Siegle – wrote on Instagram: ‘Sooo – a few of you listeners have noticed my voice hasn’t sounded right these past few weeks – I’ve got you to thank.

‘Got it checked. Doctors found a lesion on my vocal chords which I’ve had removed this weekend – thanks for all the kind messages – should be back on my feet soon – in the meantime…’ and finished the post with a zip-up mouth emoji.

Previous posts on Heart FM’s Instagram account showed fans expressing concern for Jamie’s voice, with one comment under a clip from August 22 saying: ‘Jamie you need to sort your bad throat out.’

Jamie also appeared in a clip posted on August 23, where he and Zoe announced the winners of a £30,000 giveaway.

Listen to Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden weekdays from 06:30 – 10:00 across the UK and on Global Player.
