Prince William used to contact his favourite radio programmes under a fake name

She told The Guardian newspaper: "Prince William used to text me regularly. Will and Kate came to Radio 1 to wish me luck before I ran the London marathon.

"He told me when he worked on the air ambulances, he used to listen to me on the early breakfast show, and would sometimes message in with a fake name asking for a shout-out."

The 45-year-old star was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2021 and she was thankful her doctor sent her for tests even when she felt she was "too young" for the disease.

She said: "My GP told me I was too young for cancer. She sent me for tests anyway, which saved my life. I was 42, fit and in my prime when I got my diagnosis. While I waited to hear how serious it was, I made a promise: if I survived, I'd tell the tale. Reading other people's stories comforted me while I was struggling. Sharing my own is the least I could do."

The following year, the 'Dancing On Ice' contestant was given the all-clear and she'll never forget that "beautiful" moment.

She said: "Being told I was cancer-free was the most beautiful moment. A year's worth of worry, pain and fear rushed out my body."

Adele believes battling the disease made her a "better person".

She explained: "Cancer made me a better person. I've stopped worrying about the silly things. I appreciate the privilege of being healthy. I've traded my brattiness for gratitude."
