Adele Roberts breaks down in tears live on Lorraine as she receives emotional message from her cancer nurse after ‘extraordinary’ marathon world record

Adele Roberts broke down in tears live on Lorraine when she revealed the emotional message from her cancer nurse after she completed the London Marathon. 

Lorraine Kelly, 65, welcomed the radio presenter to the ITV morning show on Monday.

Adele had become the fastest woman in history to complete the world’s six major marathons in Boston, Tokyo, Berlin, Chicago, New York and London with a stoma. 

She ran the London Marathon to raise money for Cancer Research on Sunday and joked ‘my legs don’t work’ as she expressed her disbelief at her achievement. 

The star had brought her marathon medals to the show and Lorraine commented ‘You’re extraordinary’.

Adele underwent surgery for bowl cancer in October 2021, later undergoing chemotherapy treatment and getting a stoma and announcing she had been given the all-clear in June 2022.

During the conversation, Lorraine played a video from Adele’s stoma nurse called Elaine.

‘You have inspired so many people and patients with stomas. You have been an absolute God send, you have been a person that others aim to aspire to. 

‘What a great accomplishment and thank you for carrying us along on that journey with you,’ the nurse said.

Adele wiped tears away and emotionally said, ‘Sorry’ afterwards.

‘I get it because the people that helped you to get back and be you again are so important and sometimes we forget,’ Lorraine said.

The radio presenter agreed, ‘Without a doubt, I always say cancer’s a team effort and thanks to people like Elaine and the NHS, I couldn’t have done it without them.’

Adele was then presented with a Guinness World Records certificate live on air.

The radio presenter completed the London Marathon in just three hours and 36 minutes.

Adele took to her Instagram the day before Sunday’s marathon to reflect on her record, sharing a video of her medal from the 2023 race and breaking into tears as she reflected on how far she’d come.

She said: ‘I just thought I’d have a look at this just to remind me where I’ve been and what I’m capable of, because I’m really freaking out today. I don’t want to let anyone down and I don’t want to let this girl down, the girl that did this.’

Posting a video documenting her cancer battle and marathon journey, Adele shared a heartfelt post on Saturday night, writing: ‘For every precious soul affected by cancer, for their families, their friends… and for everyone living with a stoma. This is for you.’

She continued: ‘I can’t think of a better way to celebrate #bowelcancerawarenessMonth than running the @londonmarathon to complete the challenge and hopefully set a new Guinness World Record in the process as the first and fastest woman with a stoma to complete all 6.

‘I promise to give tomorrow my all – Just as I did after waking up from surgery. I will start small and dream big!! I will take it step by step… and each of those steps will lead me to the finish. 

‘And I know you will all be with me every step of the way. I will run with all you in my heart.’

While she also paid tribute to her girlfriend, Kate Holderness, saying: ‘Thank you for being there with me EVERY STEP OF THE WAY @kateholderness. You’re the reason I never gave up. You’re my hero and I know with you by my side I can never lose ❤️ xxx’.

On Sunday morning, Kate shared video of Adele on route to the marathon, with the presenter saying: ‘My legs don’t work!’ as her partner encouraged: ‘You’re going to do good’.

While she also posted a video of Adele making her way to the starting line in her running kit and putting her game face on amid her nerves.

Lorraine airs on ITV1 weekdays from 9am and is available to stream on ITVX.
