Desperately sad
A touching moment between Deborah James and her family has been shown during a special documentary. The scene shows Deborah surrounded by her family in the final days before her death on Tuesday .
Deborah's death was announced in an emotional Instagram post, as her family praised the BBC podcast host for always continuing to fight and raising awareness of bowel cancer and its symptoms.
In one of her final Instagram posts, Deborah celebrated her T-shirts raising more than £1million for cancer research. "What’s funny is when @inthestyle released the first t-shirt we both said how incredible £50k raised would be so for me to still be here and see it’s over £1mil is just so incredible!" she shared.
"The thing about it is, and the thing that's so hard, is that she always bounced back, and I always thought that she would. And that's been very difficult because we just always thought she'd be here." Lauren and Steve Bland, widower of Dame Deborah's former podcast host Rachael Bland, remembered their "best friend" and said they were "incredibly grateful to have had her at all," in the documentary.
