Susanna Reid chokes up as she hails 'inspirational' Deborah James who 'doesn't know how long she has left'

Cancer campaigner Dame Deborah James has revealed she has helped design a clothing collection with a message of hope.The 40-year-old mum-of-two, who has terminal bowel cancer, has tirelessly campaigned to raise awareness and vast amounts of cash for research into the cruel disease. Her latest venture, announced on her Instagram account, is a clothing range in collaboration with In The Style and the main collection will be released online for shoppers later this year.

Deborah James has given her blessing for TV bosses to air an episode of Embarrassing Bodies she's in even if she's already died. The 40 year old, who has been courageously battling bowel cancer for five years, announced last week that her body is "just not playing ball" and she's been moved to end-of-life care. Since then, she's been trying to push for more awareness around the cancer as well as funds to go towards Cancer Research UK.

DAME Deborah James launched a charity T-shirt last night - which sold out in just an hour. Emblazoned with her motto ‘Rebellious Hope’ the top marks the first piece in a new collection with In The Style.

Dame Deborah James has hailed it a ‘miracle’ that tons of letters have been able to find their way to her – without having her exact address.The You, Me & The Big C podcast host has been bombarded with support on social media since announcing that her cancer treatment has stopped and she is now receiving end-of-life hospice care at home. However, it’s the letters that have been mailed somewhat directly to Dame Deborah that have particularly made her chuckle today. The 40-year-old is currently living at her parents’ home in Woking where she has chosen to die rather than her London property, in order to spare her children the heartbreaking memories of her dying in their own house. While it’s known which Surrey town the family are currently staying in, their exact address is not public knowledge for obvious reasons.

Dame Deborah James has been left overwhelmed by "miracle" letters that have been arriving from well wishers despite having no address on them. Deborah, otherwise known as Bowel Babe, has been battling stage four bowel cancer after initially being diagnosed with stage three in December 2016.
