Incredible: The TV personality, 44, took on the race 10 months after getting the all-clear from bowel cancer and completed it in 3 hours, 30 minutes and 22 seconds

Adele Roberts broke the world record time for completing the London marathon with a stoma bag on Sunday.

The TV personality, 44, took on the race 10 months after getting the all-clear from bowel cancer and finished it in 3 hours, 30 minutes and 22 seconds.

BBC presenter Gabby Logan broke the news of her time to her live on BBC and she looked delighted as she got it.

After she proudly said: 'I can retire now, I'm finished!

'In training I only went 21 miles so I didn't know if I could finish it with the stoma. I'm over the moon.'

Happy: After she proudly said:' I can retire now, i'm finished! In training i only went 21 miles ao i didn't know if i could finish it with the stoma. I'm over the moon'

Asked if she would ever do another one she joked that she would simply watched Audrey - her stoma bag - do it on her own.

Adele was diagnosed with stage two bowel cancer in October 2021 and received the all clear from doctors last June.

It comes after Adele said receiving early treatment for bowel cancer 'saved her life'.

She has leant her support to a new campaign to raise awareness about the symptoms of the condition.

The former Big Brother star, who has documented her treatment on social media, told how she was 'embarrassed' to contact her doctor when she first noticed her symptoms.

She said: 'It took me a while to pluck up the courage to call my GP at first. My symptoms seemed like things I could explain away. I didn't want to be a burden to the NHS and I was embarrassed. I shouldn't have worried.

'My GP took my concerns seriously, put me at ease and also offered me a home-testing kit. This meant I was able to do the test in the comfort of my own home.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions.
