Deborah James' bowel cancer fundraiser hits £4million just hours after being made a dame

Deborah James' bowel cancer fundraiser has reached an incredible £4.1 million, just hours after she was honoured with a Damehood by the Queen.

The 40-year-old, who is known on social media as Bowel Babe following her campaigning to raise awareness of the disease, has raised more than 16 times her original £250,000 goal for Cancer Research UK, writes The Mirror.

Over 220,000 supporters have donated to her JustGiving page, including high-profile figures such as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
