(Picture: Deborah James Instagram)Dame Deborah James has gushed over her “perfect” hour with her husband Sebastien at RHS Garden Wisley.
Bowel babe, 40, enjoyed the special outing in Surrey early on Wednesday morning before the crowds in what was the first time she had left the house in ten days because she had been feeling “too weak”.
In a sweet post, she credited her husband for being her “rock” and she said the couple had laughed together after “swallowing the tears”.
She wrote: “Seb whisked me (bit of a mission but worth it!) at the crack of dawn to @rhswisley before all the crowds, to say well done for the book launch, and it was just perfect for a hour.
“I haven’t left the house in 10 days as have been too weak, and whilst I’m now going to snooze for most of the day (in the sun like a cat!) - I love this picture of reminding me of vibrant green life all around, despite the sadness of knowing the state of my body inside.
“But Seb is an utter rock for me and together we seem to be able to squeeze our hands, swallow the tears and laugh instead.”

Delighted, the author said the trip was to celebrate her book and she was already “blown away” that How to Live When You Could Be Dead had made number one on Amazon’s best sellers list.
She went on: “I’m blown away and utterly grateful by the response to the book pre-launch and the sheer numbers of you who have kindly ordered it.
“Not only contributing the @bowelbabefund but also making it number one in the best sellers Amazon list. It’s always been my pipe dream to write a times best seller.
“My first book just missed out, so maybe just maybe I’ll never know about this one, but I’m sure I’ll be celebrating somewhere!!”
She has raised more than six million through her online fundraiser for cancer charities.
Last week, the star was presented with her damehood by the Duke of Cambridge at her family home.
