BBC Breakfast hosts Dan Walker and Sally Nugent were visibly emotional as they reacted to the heartbreaking news that fellow journalist, Deborah James' is now receiving hospice care. In a heartbreaking Instagram post on Monday, May 9, Deborah told fans that she is now receiving hospice at-home care for her bowel cancer. The 40-year-old presenter said: "nobody knows how long I've got left".
Reacting to the post, Dan Walker said that BBC Breakfast had received a 'huge response' to Deborah's announcement. "We’ve spent quite a lot of time with her on this programme and people feel that they know her really well," he said. "Even though you know that she has been ill for a long time and she’s spoken a lot about what will happen to her eventually, it’s that shock moment that it’s happening now isn’t it?"
