BBC star Deborah James has confirmed she is now receiving hospice care surrounded by her family and friends, and preparing to say goodbye. The 40-year-old presenter, who has battled stage four bowel cancer for nearly five years, shared the devastating news on social media.
The mum-of-two said on Twitter: "The tweet I never wanted to write. The time has come to say goodbye. It has been five years to prepare, doesn't make it any easy [sic].
"I'm under hospice at home care and I'm spending my time surrounded by my family." Deborah urged her supportive followers to donate as much as they could to fight bowel cancer.
