Adele Roberts has shared a worrying health update as she posted a snap from hospital.
The TV and radio star, 46, 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.
However, three years after overcoming cancer, Adele took to her Instagram stories on Thursday to reveal she’s undertaking blood tests as her iron count is low.
Sharing a beaming image of herself and partner Kate Holderness in the waiting room of the cardiology department, Adele explained: ‘Having a blood test today for my anaemia. Hopefully this one will go well and I will get more medication.
‘We’re not sure why my iron count is low… either damage to my blood from chemo or due to having a stoma. Without my medication I have no energy. I’m not running at the moment and I’m so tired all the time.’

She added: ‘Hopefully I’ll get some more medicine once my GP has seen today’s results… otherwise I’m going to be consistently falling asleep until I die.’
The star later uploaded another image of herself with plasters on her arms from where the needles had been inserted.
Shortly afterwards, she told how she initially discovered she had anemia amid her former bid to take part on Dancing On Ice, with the show’s doctor recognising she had a problem with iron in her blood after she confessed to a habit of crunching ice with her teeth.
Back in January, Adele opened up on the gruelling side effects of her chemotherapy as she revealed the treatment removed her finger tips.
She’s currently in remission but her journey fighting the condition left the DJ with some unexpected side effects as she revealed to Monday Mile Podcast that the treatment also caused black spots on her tongue.
Adele told the show: ‘Chemotherapy is different with every single person. And with me, it really affected my skin.
‘So it took my fingerprints off. I couldn’t use my fingers, I couldn’t use touch screens, I couldn’t use my phone, self-checkouts, things like that.
‘It really damaged the bottom of my feet – it looked like they’d been burnt or something like that. It also turned my tongue black.

‘I had these black spots on my tongue. So instead of being pink, like an intestine, she was like dark purple and it was almost like treacle would come out of it.
‘It was a lot, it was a mess. I used to think if the chemo is doing this to me, imagine what it’s doing to the cancer. And I made sure that I stayed active all the way through my chemo.
‘And I just used to visualise all of the chemotherapy going through my body and killing any cancer cells. And it was like a way for me to stay strong mentally. Movement and visualisation, that’s what I did.’
Adele was first diagnosed with bowel cancer in October 2021 and documented her treatment on social media, which included colostomy surgery to remove a bowel tumour and having a stoma bag fitted.

Nine months after being diagnosed, and after receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment, Adele was declared cancer free, and now lives with a stoma bag, which she has named Audrey.
The Dancing On Ice star previously disclosed that she felt ‘accountable’ for her cancer scare and felt ‘she was being punished for something’.
She said: ‘I totally thought that I had caused it [the cancer]. My first thought was ‘Am I going to die?’. But once he [the doctor] said he could help me, it’s all I held onto.
‘And when he said it wasn’t my fault that’s when I just cried and got so emotional.’
