BBC Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts has been out to celebrate after leaving hospital.
The 42-year-old breakfast show presenter from Southport revealed last month she had been diagnosed with bowel cancer, and would be undergoing surgery to remove a tumour.
Adele decided to go public with her diagnosis in the hope that he may encourage others to have a check-up.

In a recent update, Adele has shared photos from a trip to Harrod's with her girlfriend Kate Holderness, who she referred to as "Nurse Kate", in celebration of "one week since leaving hospital".
The snaps show Adele looking radiant, laughing as she pours tea, and beaming at the camera as they peruse menus.
Captioning the post, Adele said: "Celebrating one week since leaving hospital. I cannot believe how well my little stoma is doing. Made me so proud! Tea instead of champagne but it’s never tasted so good!
"Still getting used to everything and learning what works for my new body…. Kate nearly killed me off with carrots on Tuesday… and I stupidly thought courgette would be digestible a couple of days later. F me… I thought I was going to pass out from the pain haha. OMG…
"It’s a HUGE learning curve but one you’re all getting me through so thank you!!! If you know someone who has a stoma, make no mistake, they are actual UNITS! Proud to be one of your number. Every morning I wake up I am so grateful.
"I saw a guy waking round the shops today with a big birthday badge that said 65. For the first time in my life I thought - how amazing will it be if I get to wear a badge like that one day?! I b****y hope so… as long as the carrots don’t get me...
"Thank you for an incredible week Nurse Kate. You know how to treat a lady…"
Adele first found fame in Channel 4's Big Brother series in 2002.
She joined the BBC in 2012 as part of the Radio 1 Xtra team, before moving to Radio 1 in 2015 to host the Early Breakfast Show and she took over the Weekend Breakfast programme earlier this year.
Adele is also a regular presenter for BBC Sport.
And in 2020, Roberts won the sixth series of Celebrity Coach Trip on E4 alongside her girlfriend, Kate Holderness.
