Deborah James' daughter Eloise models her sell-out Rebellious Hope charity t-shirt

Deborah James proudly shared a photo of her daughter modelling her charity t-shirt.

The Dame, who has captured the nation's heart by sharing her brave battle with bowel cancer has continued to raise money by teaming up with In The Style.

Her daughter Eloise, 12, wore the white top with the "rebellious hope" slogan printed on the front.

Despite everything that she and her mum are going through, the youngster smiled as she held an umbrella.

Just hours after the launch, 20,000 T-shirts had sold out, which raised a whopping £140,000 for her BowelBabe fund.

The teacher-turned-podcaster has so far raised £6.4million for cancer research and was presented with a Damehood by Prince William.

In other photos, she leaned on a floral walking stick as she lovingly kissed her daughter on the cheek in the conservatory of her parent's home.

Deborah told The Sun: “I’ve loved making and creating the ITS collection, it’s been something beautiful to take my mind off cancer.

“It’s a quote I have used time and time again, and rebellious hope is most certainly how I have lived my life."

“We all need to find the light in that rebellious hope, to keep the flame burning in the darkest hours.”

The mum-of-two was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer just days before Christmas in 2016.

Throughout her treatment she has been raising awareness of the disease through her BowelBabe account.

Although tragically, last Monday she announced that she was receiving end-of-life care at her parents' home in Surrey.

She said that her body "simply isn't playing ball" and said that it is "so emaciated that that I have no choice but to surrender to the inevitable.”

The 40-year-old, who has said that she wants to die drinking champagne in her parents' garden surrounded by the sound of her family chatting to each other, has written her second book.

She said that she was "gutted" that she wouldn't see her book, titled How To Live When You Could Be Dead, in real life.

"For the last 2 years I've been working on my second book How to Live when you could be Dead - oh the irony of the title!" she said on Instagram.
