She captioned the snaps: ‘I did my first radio show this year on chemotherapy. Just finished my last show of 2022, cancer free and with a year full of amazing memories. My stoma even got a greeting from Santa this week (I have receipts, swipe to hear from the great man)’.
‘Like, HOW BRILLIANT is that?! Thanks @bbcradio2 and @thisislisten for making that happen. Just WOW…absolutely made my year that…’.

It comes after the presenter revealed that his stoma would be staying for the time being after giving an update last month.
She said that her stoma would remain in her body for now as doctors are currently unable to reverse the stoma.
Sharing snaps of herself showing off her colostomy bag, Adele wrote: ‘Had a meeting with my consultant and it looks like Audrey the #stoma stays.
‘She rides again! Well… she stays for now. It’s a long story but, essentially, it’s not possible to reverse my stoma any time soon.
Staying put: It comes after the presenter revealed that his stoma was staying put for the ‘moment’ after giving an update last month.
He also casually mentioned that I had my rectum removed. She may not be able to go to the bathroom normally ever again…WHAT?!
‘Anyway…for now, even though I’m honored to have a stoma, I thought I might give it a try and do some good.’
‘There are around 200,000 people in the UK with a stoma. From tiny babies to the most distinguished members and veterans, many more people than we all realize, and together I feel like we can do a lot of good.
It comes after Adele revealed last month that she had fallen in love with her body since she had cancer.
The Radio One DJ admits to having body confidence issues throughout her life, but it was only after owning the bag, which she proudly displays in photo shoots and has nicknamed Audrey, that Adele finally accepted who she is. .
Update: Taking to her Instagram, Adele (pictured with girlfriend Kate Holderness) opened up about how her stoma will stay in her body for now, as doctors are currently unable to reverse the stoma.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, she said: “I’ve always struggled with body image. I used to think I wasn’t worthy of going to the gym, that I wasn’t someone who should be healthy and fit. I thought it was a lost cause.
“After Big Brother I gained a lot of weight and I felt like I had to lose weight to go to the gym, I wasn’t used to seeing women who looked like me. I was pretty rubbish about my self-confidence and myself.
“But when I walked into that bathroom and saw my stoma bag, I remember loving it and thinking, ‘wow, my body looks amazing.'”
“I realized how amazing the human body is, and cancer helped me see myself in a completely different way.
“I remember thinking to myself ‘don’t do this anymore’ and this is amazing and great. I love my body and have never loved it more than now.’
