The Dancing On Ice finalist and her fiancée Kate Holderness open up about their new book, bowel cancer and two decades of lesbian love
INTERVIEW BY ROXY BOURDILLON, IMAGES BY SOPHIA SPRING
Twenty years ago Adele Roberts and Kate Holderness exhibited peak lesbian behaviour when they fell in love on their very first date. Giving hope to queer women everywhere, the couple is still utterly smitten two decades on. A lot has happened in the intervening years. They have grown up together, navigated the incredible highs and devastating lows life has thrown at them, and through it all become closer than they could have ever imagined.
Here’s your teaser for what the power couple had to say within the pages of our Pride issue…
“It’s my duty to fly that Pride flag, wave it as much as I can, because I’ve got a second chance at life” – Adele on what Pride means to them.
“I didn’t think it would be possible, [but cancer] has definitely brought us even closer together” – Kate on their relationship and Adele’s diagnosis.
“Why didn’t I know about bowel cancer? Maybe it’s because I’ve not seen a gay woman talk about it, or a mixed race woman” Adele on being transparent on her journey with bowel cancer.
