Bucks Fizz star Jay on mend after surgery for cancer

Recovering: Jay Aston BUCKS Fizz singer Jay Aston is recovering well and has left intensive care “earlier than expected” following surgery to remove part of her tongue after being diagnosed with mouth cancer.

Aston’s bandmate Cheryl Baker tweeted an update on her progress, via Aston’s husband Dave Colquhoun, writing: “Jay’s recovery is all looking positive.

“Jay moved from intensive care on to the ward.

“This is much earlier than expected so goes to show the fight in the girl...

Aston (57) recently returned to the recording studio before undergoing the operation, which could threaten her career.
