I mean, Al, you know, I have to do quite a lot of outpatient appointments."And actually the idea of doing them somewhere a little bit more relaxed, a little bit more, it's not quite as kind of medicalised as a hospital, that would be quite nice.""It really appeals to me," she added."Well, you know, the fact, as said, it brings people back to the high street," said Alex. "So it's a win-win, really, isn't it?" "Absolutely," said Lauren.The star shared her diagnosis with fans in July, posting on Instagram: "I've been diagnosed with something called smouldering myeloma (yes that is a weird name and no I'd never heard of it either)."It's an asymptomatic blood and bone marrow disorder that in some people can develop into blood cancer.""Thankfully for me the risk of this happening in my case is pretty low," the star told her followers on the platform. "At the moment I feel OK and don't need treatment."Article continues belowShe went on: "It is a chronic condition - no cure yet - and it does mean my immune system is a bit compromised, so I will need to take good care of myself and I will be carefully monitored with blood tests, MRIs and bone marrow biopsies (which I have recently discovered are even less fun than they sound)."The One Show airs at 7pm on BBC One on weekdays.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.The One ShowAlex JonesLauren Laverne
