I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star Adele Roberts has shared a candid post outlining her struggles with her stoma.
The Radio 1 DJ is free from cancer but still has to tend to her stoma, which she has affectionately named Audrey.
Roberts uploaded a picture of her stomach with a pile of sugar over the site and explained what was happening in the caption.

She wrote: “If you’d have told me a year ago I’d be sugaring my colon, I wouldn’t have believed you! Audrey’s at it again. What have I got the naughtiest stoma alive?! I would show you what a prolapsed stoma looks like, but I’ve just watched the footage back and I wouldn’t want to alarm anyone.
Adele went on to say that it was “quite shocking” but also “important to share” as she “didn’t know this could happen”.
Roberts said that she “freaked out” and was “very scared,” but “thanks to others sharing their stories online,” she eventually realised that it is “quite common” and “looks worse than it is”.
She went on to thank everyone who had “sent her advice” and urged people to “call their stoma nurse immediately” and “seek medical advice” if the same happens to them.
Adele then joked that she didn’t know how to tell Scott Mills that she “couldn’t go to his leaving party” because her “colon was hanging out,” and signed off with some laughing faces.
She added the hashtags “stoma life” and “ostomy awareness” at the end of her caption.
Adoring fans flocked to the comments to shower her in praise and well wishes for her bravery.
One fan left a sweet message and said that Adele is an “inspiration” who makes them “glow” as they listen and watch her.

They continued: “I feel like someone like you and your partner are so needed and necessary to show life goes on with smiles and laughter. You educate, bring light, so so special.”
Another wrote: “Oh, love. That’s a big freaking thing. Proud of you. Take care,” and signed off with a line of kisses.
A grateful follower also commented: “Omg, that sounds horrific but so important you share this for awareness. I love how you find joy in everything. What legends you both are.”
