Roberts fans have been left emotional after her girlfriend gave an insight into her bowl treatment.

The BBC Radio 1 DJ, 42, was diagnosed with bowel cancer in September 2021 and previously admitted she was ‘shocked’ upon hearing the news.

She has since had surgery to remove her tumour which she said ‘all happened so quickly,’ meaning one month later.

Adele has been documenting her treatment process and sharing the ups and downs with fans.

Now, her girlfriend, Kate Holderness, has shown what a rollercoaster it’s been by compiling clips of Adele’s hospital stays.

Taking to TikTok, Kate, 37, showed what Adele has been through during her chemotherapy journey after having part of her bowel removed.

FOR ADELE ♥️ @adeleroberts I don’t think you know how astonishing you are. I hope this video helps you see…just a little.

The moving video shows Adele sobbing while sitting in a hospital bed, and later struggling to walk up the stairs unassisted following her op last year.

Kate added the song Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper to the background of the TikTok and wrote a loving message for her partner.

She captioned the post: ‘FOR ADELE ♥️ @adeleroberts I don’t think you know how astonishing you are. I hope this video helps you see…just a little. #bowelcancer #chemotherapy #bowelcancerawareness #capecitabine’

The video has received over 20k likes and the comments section is flooded with well-wishes for the presenter.

‘Adele is one very special human being. Very brave and inspirational ❤️’ one wrote.

‘She’s totally amazing. I follow Adele on Insta and she’s so inspirational. I think you do an amazing job of keeping her spirits up ?’ praised another.

One fan wrote: ‘Good luck with your treatment Adele, keep fighting girl, you don’t realise how much of a superhero you are ❤️’

She has thanked the NHS for their ‘brilliance’  and said the hospital staff treating her have been like a ‘family.’

There are many reasons why people get stomas, including bowel cancer like Adele, or other chronic illnesses such as Crohn’s Disease and they can be temporary or permanent. 

The former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here star wrote on social media: ‘I’ll admit, all of this has been overwhelming at times. A lot for me to take in. It’s all happened so quickly from diagnosis to treatment but that’s the brilliance of the NHS. I am so grateful to them and I know I am very lucky.

‘Thank you to every single person who’s been in touch and so kind to my family – I cannot thank you enough! So much love to everyone who’s sent positive thoughts and good energy. You’ve got me through more than you can imagine. There’s a long way to go on this journey but thanks to what I’ve experienced this week I know I can give this my best shot.’
