Gaby Roslin’s Shocking Bowel Cancer Scare: What You Need to See in the Toilet Could Save Your Life!

BBG News

Gabby Roslin opened up about a past experience with cancer, having been inspired by her father Clive’s own battle against bowel cancer.

For over three decades, a 60-year-old television host, together with her deceased friend Dame Deborah James (who passed away due to bowel cancer at the age of 40 in 2022), has been actively advocating for awareness about bowel cancer.

In 2001, Gaby disclosed an earlier health concern that stemmed from discovering blood in her stool. She sought advice from her general practitioner and was comforted upon learning that the issue was related to hemorrhoids, a common occurrence post-childbirth.

Upon learning that there’s a family history of bowel cancer, I felt an immediate urge to investigate more about it, given my personal family background.

Gaby openly discussed her experiences related to the debut of “The Toilet Talk” – a digital campaign aimed at increasing public understanding.

She said: ‘If this series helps even one person catch their bowel cancer early, it’s worth it.

‘If there’s blood or changes in your poo, don’t sit on it — see a doctor!’

In the late Nineties, her father, who used to be a radio announcer for the BBC, received a diagnosis of the disease.

At that particular moment, it was deemed inappropriate to discuss bowel cancer using straightforward language about waste products on TV. In other words, during our interview aimed at spreading awareness, we encountered a journalist who expressed regret and mentioned that the term “poo” couldn’t be used.

‘Dad said, “But that’s what I’m talking about – bowel cancer”.

Reflecting on my father’s return from vacation with mom, I shared my concern: “Upon his arrival, he confided in us that he had been experiencing an unusual issue – unintentional bowel movements.

After discovering traces of blood in his stool, he informed his medical professional brother. It’s fortunate that he did so, as his brother strongly advised him to get assistance right away.

‘It was caught early. Twenty-nine years later my dad is still alive.’

Every year, over 44,000 individuals in the United Kingdom receive a new bowel cancer diagnosis, while approximately 142,000 cases are reported in the United States.

Over the past three decades, there’s been a significant increase of about 50% in diagnoses among younger adults, while for those aged over 50, either the numbers have remained steady or decreased.

Previously, Gaby shared her feelings of sorrow after losing her mother during her mid-thirties.

The BBC Radio DJ’s mother Jackie died in 19997 aged 62 from smoking-related lung cancer.

Gaby shared that even thirty years later, she continues to experience the sorrow deeply within her, likening it to a punch in her abdomen.

The mother of two expressed deep sadness, as Jackie was unable to meet her two daughters – Libbi-Jack (age 23) from her previous marriage to musician Colin Peel, and Amelie (age 17), whom she shares with her husband, David Osman, over the past 12 years.

As I tuned into the radio this morning, a poignant piece caught my attention – a story about a family where children never had the opportunity to know their beloved grandmother. This heartfelt anecdote lingered with me as I shared it with OK! magazine later in the day.

28 years have passed since my mother’s passing, and it still hits me hard, right in the core. Whenever I console people who’ve lost someone, I emphasize that there are no set rules for grieving. And now, after all these years, I find myself feeling just as raw and vulnerable, as if someone had punched me in the gut.

Gabby shares that she preserves Jackie’s memory by discussing her with their kids and scattering pictures of her throughout their home.

The TV host expressed a desire that Jackie might have had the opportunity to meet her grandkids, reminiscing about her mother’s pledge to babysit them each week, thus enabling her to enjoy an evening out.

She mentioned, “You tend to hold onto these memories deep within you, and occasionally, they unexpectedly surface at the forefront of your thoughts.

In the past, Gaby, currently hosting a radio show on Magic every Saturday, opened up emotionally about the difficult passing of her mother during an interview in 2023.

After my mother passed away, she expressed that she would no longer feel the need to apologize for being joyful once more, as life holds such great value, according to her statement to The Sun.

On the very same day that Dad, Clive (at the age of 89), received news he was cancer-free following his bowel cancer battle, Mum tragically lost her life to lung cancer. It was an incredibly difficult period for everyone involved.

Gaby shared that one crucial lesson she learned during a challenging time was prioritizing self-care and enjoying life to its fullest.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I find myself cherishing each instant, for we never truly know when this journey will conclude. My deepest desire is for everyone to experience this sense of living fully, and I wholeheartedly wish for this joy to be shared by all.

Gabby debuted on television screens back in 1992, appearing as both presenter and broadcaster on the Channel 4 show “The Big Breakfast.

From 1992 to 2002, “The Big Breakfast” aired, and during this entire span, Gaby co-hosted the program with Chris Evans starting from its very first episode until 1996.

Back in 1993, this program held the top spot among morning shows in the United Kingdom, attracting approximately two million viewers for each broadcast.

Gaby stayed on the program until 1996, when Zoe Ball stepped in to take over. Notable personalities who have also hosted the show include Kelly Brook and Denise Van Outen.

Growing up, Gabby often sat by the television while watching Blue Peter, assuming the position of a fictional fourth presenter. She would engage her father, veteran BBC newsreader Clive Roslin, in make-believe scenarios where he would feign filming her.

Looking back at making her childhood dream come true, she said, “That instant when I heard ‘Ten seconds to live’ over my earpiece for the first time is still vivid in my memory. It exceeded all my expectations. Ever since then, I’ve cherished every single moment.
