BBC star’s son Fergus, 17, excels in GCSEs despite cancer diagnosis

Lauren Laverne has shared her pride at her son Fergus ‘smashing his GCSE’s’ and heading off to film school.

The BBC DJ, 46, revealed on Wednesday that she is recovering from cancer after the disease was caught early.

The Desert Island Discs host shared a photo of her son Fergus and told her followers she had endured a ‘tough week’ but wanted to focus on something positive.   

Taking to Instagram she wrote: ‘It’s been a tough week for our family (thank you so much for all the lovely messages – I think it will take the rest of my recovery to process them!) but some really great news today. 

‘I don’t post pics of my kids usually but as this guy is now almost 17 and off to film school after smashing his GCSEs today I think I’ll allow myself to say: well done, Ferg.

‘We are all so very proud of you and the clever, funny, kind, creative boy you are. Great taste in music too!’

In the photo, Fergus posed in a black T-shirt with a white print reading ‘Jesus loves UK Garage’. 

Along with Fergus, Lauren is also mother to son Mack with her husband Graeme Fisherv who she tied the knot with in 2005.

The mother of-two did not reveal the type of cancer she had been diagnosed with but said it had been picked up ‘unexpectedly’ during a screening test.

Laverne thanked the medical teams ‘who have got me this far with incredible skill and kindness’.
